Isaiah - Chapter: 14


14:1	For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
14:2	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.
14:3	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.
14:4	That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
14:5	The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
14:6	He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
14:7	The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
14:8	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.
14:9	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.
14:10	All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
14:11	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.
14:12	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!
14:13	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:
14:14	I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
14:15	Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
14:16	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;
14:17	That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
14:18	All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

14:25	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.
14:26	This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
14:27	For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

14:3	And in that day when the Lord shall giue thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy feare, and from the sore bodage, wherein thou didest serue,
14:4	Then shalt thou take vp this prouerbe against the King of Babel, and say, Howe hath the oppressor ceased? and the gold thirsty Babel rested?
14:5	The Lord hath broken the rodde of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers:
14:6	Which smote the people in anger with a continuall plague, and ruled the nations in wrath: if any were persecuted, he did not let.
14:7	The whole worlde is at rest and is quiet: they sing for ioye.

14:13	Yet thou saidest in thine heart, I will ascende into heauen, and exalt my throne aboue beside the starres of God: I will sitte also vpon the mount of the Congregation in the sides of the North.

14:18	All the Kings of the nations, euen they all sleepe in glorie, euery one in his owne house.
14:19	But thou art cast out of thy graue like an abominable branch: like the raiment of those that are slaine, and thrust thorowe with a sword, which goe downe to the stones of the pit, as a carkeise troden vnder feete.

14:25	That I will breake to pieces Asshur in my land, and vpon my mountaines will I treade him vnder foote: so that his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall be taken from off their shoulder.
14:26	This is the counsell that is consulted vpon the whole worlde, and this is the hande stretched out ouer all the nations,
14:27	Because the Lord of hostes hath determined it, and who shall disanull it? and his hande is stretched out, and who shall turne it away?
