Chapter 14 - Lucifer son (of the morning)
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.
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.
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,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king (of Babylon)1, and say,
How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff (of the wicked), and the sceptre (of the rulers).
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
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.
9 Hell2 from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead3 for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings (of the nations).
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee,
Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
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.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son4 (of the morning)! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
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)4, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.5
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
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;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house (of his prisoners)?6
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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).
24 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:
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.
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.
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?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 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.
30 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.
31 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.
32 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.
