And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Philistia Destroyed
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.
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his1 appointed times.”
That athe Lord has founded Zion,
And bthe poor of His people shall take refuge in it.
| << Isaiah 14:28 | Isaiah 14:30 >> |
