Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 014
014:001
And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place:
and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the
LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them
captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over
their oppressors
014:002
And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give
thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the
hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve
014:003
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of
Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden
city ceased
014:004
The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre
of the rulers
014:005
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he
that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none
hindereth
014:006
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth
into singing
014:007
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,
saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against
us
014:008
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy
coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief
ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all
the kings of the nations
014:009
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become
weak as we? art thou become like unto us
014:010
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy
viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover
thee
014:011
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations
014:012
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north
014:013
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the most High
014:014
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit
014:015
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms
014:016
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners
014:017
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
every one in his own house
014:018
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,
and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through
with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a
carcase trodden under feet
014:019
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou
hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of
evildoers shall never be renowned
014:020
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their
fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill
the face of the world with cities
014:021
For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and
cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and
nephew, saith the LORD
014:022
I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of
water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith the LORD of hosts
014:023
The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have
thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so
shall it stand
014:024
That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my
mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart
from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders
014:025
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and
this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations
014:026
For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul
it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back
014:027
In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden
014:028
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that
smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come
forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying
serpent
014:029
And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall
lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and
he shall slay thy remnant
014:030
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art
dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and
none shall be alone in his appointed times
014:031
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That
the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall
trust in it
