ULT ISA Chapter 14

◄ ISA 14 ► ║ ©

14 For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and he will again choose Israel and restore them into their land. And foreigners will join with them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2 And the nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will take them in the land of Yahweh as male and female servants, and they will be taking captive their captors, and they will rule over their oppressors.

3 And it will happen on the day when Yahweh gives you rest from your suffering and anguish and from the hard slavery under which you were enslaved, 4 and you shall lift up this theme against the king of Babylon, and you will say,

“How the oppressor has ceased,

the fury ceased!

5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked,

the scepter of the rulers,

6 striking the peoples in wrath, blows without end!

Ruling the nations in nose, an attack without restraint!

7 The whole earth is resting, quiet;

they break out singing.

8 Even the cypress trees rejoice over you

with the cedars of Lebanon:

‘Since you are laid low,

no one comes up to cut us down.’

9 Sheol below trembles for you,

to meet your coming,

It arouses the dead for you,

all the kings of the earth,

raising them from their thrones,

all the kings of the nations.

10 They all will speak and say to you,

‘You, also, have become as weak as us.

You have become like us.

11 It has been brought down to Sheol—

your arrogance, the sound of your lyres.

Maggots are spread under you,

and worms cover you.’

12 How you are fallen from heaven,

daystar, son of the morning!

You are cut down to the ground,

conqueror over nations!

13 And you had said in your heart,

‘I shall ascend into heaven,

I shall exalt my throne

above the stars of God,

and I shall sit on the mount of assembly,

in the far reaches of the north.

14 I shall ascend over the tops of the clouds;

I shall match the Most High.’

15 Yet you are brought down to Sheol,

to the depths of the pit.

16 Those who see you will gaze at you,

they will stare to you.

‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,

who shook kingdoms,

17 who made the world like a wilderness,

and overthrew its cities,

did not release his prisoners homewards?’

18 All the kings of the nations,

all of them lie down in honor, a man in his home,

19 but you are cast out from your grave

like a hated branch,

clothed with the slain pierced by the sword,

who go down to the stones of the pit

like a trampled corpse.

20 You will not join them in burial,

because you have destroyed your land,

you have killed your people.

May none ever mention

the offspring of evildoers.

21 Prepare slaughter for his sons,

for the iniquity of their fathers,

lest they rise up and possess the earth

and fill the face of the earth with cities.

22 “And I shall rise up against them”

—the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.

“And I shall cut off from Babylon name and remnant,

and offspring and grandchildren,”—the declaration of Yahweh.

23 “And I shall make her into a possession of owls,

and pools of water,

and I shall sweep her with the broom of destruction,”

—the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.

24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,

“Surely, as I have intended, so it shall be,

and as I have purposed, it shall come about:

25 To break Assyria in my land,

and on my mountains trample him.

And his yoke will be lifted from them

and his burden lifted from their shoulder.

26 This is the plan intended for the whole earth,

and this is the hand raised over all the nations.

27 For Yahweh of hosts has planned,

and who will stop him?

And his hand is raised,

and who will turn it back?

28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz, there was this oracle:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,

that the rod that struck you is broken,

for out of the root of the serpent will grow out an adder,

and its fruit a fiery flying serpent.

30 And the poor will graze in my pastures,

and the needy will lie down in safety.

And I shall kill your root with famine,

and it will slay your survivors.

31 Howl, gate; cry, city;

all of you will melt away, Philistia,

for from the north comes smoke,

and none is alone in his ranks.

32 And what will he answer to the messengers of a nation?

that Yahweh has founded Zion,

and in her the afflicted of his people will find refuge.”
