Isaiah 14:28
This burden - This following burdensome prophecy concerning the Philistines, who in Ahaz's time, made an inroad into Judah, and took divers of their cities.
26 This is the apurpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has apurposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Philistia Destroyed
28 This is the1 burden which came in the year that aKing Ahaz died.
29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
aBecause the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
bAnd its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
aBecause the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
bAnd its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will feed,
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry, O city!
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his1 appointed times.”
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his1 appointed times.”
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation?
That athe Lord has founded Zion,
And bthe poor of His people shall take refuge in it.
That athe Lord has founded Zion,
And bthe poor of His people shall take refuge in it.
