Isaiah 14 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 But the LORD will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel.
2 The nations of the world will help the LORD's people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies.
3 In that wonderful day when the LORD gives his people rest from sorrow and fear, from slavery and chains,
4 you will taunt the king of Babylon. You will say, "The mighty man has been destroyed. Yes, your insolence is ended.
5 For the LORD has crushed your wicked power and broken your evil rule.
6 You struck the people with endless blows of rage and held the nations in your angry grip with unrelenting tyranny.
7 But finally the earth is at rest and quiet. Now it can sing again!
8 Even the trees of the forest-- the cypress trees and the cedars of Lebanon-- sing out this joyous song: 'Since you have been cut down, no one will come now to cut us down!'
9 "In the place of the dead there is excitement over your arrival. The spirits of world leaders and mighty kings long dead stand up to see you.
10 With one voice they all cry out, 'Now you are as weak as we are!
11 Your might and power were buried with you. The sound of the harp in your palace has ceased. Now maggots are your sheet, and worms your blanket.'
12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world.
13 For you said to yourself, 'I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.
14 I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.'
15 Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths.
16 Everyone there will stare at you and ask, 'Can this be the one who shook the earth and made the kingdoms of the world tremble?
17 Is this the one who destroyed the world and made it into a wasteland? Is this the king who demolished the world's greatest cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?'
18 "The kings of the nations lie in stately glory, each in his own tomb,
19 but you will be thrown out of your grave like a worthless branch. Like a corpse trampled underfoot, you will be dumped into a mass grave with those killed in battle. You will descend to the pit.
20 You will not be given a proper burial, for you have destroyed your nation and slaughtered your people. The descendants of such an evil person will never again receive honor.
21 Kill this man's children! Let them die because of their father's sins! They must not rise and conquer the earth, filling the world with their cities."
22 This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: "I, myself, have risen against Babylon! I will destroy its children and its children's children," says the LORD.
23 "I will make Babylon a desolate place of owls, filled with swamps and marshes. I will sweep the land with the broom of destruction. I, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, have spoken!"
24 The LORD of Heaven's Armies has sworn this oath: "It will all happen as I have planned. It will be as I have decided.
25 I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel; I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be their slaves nor bow down under their heavy loads.
26 I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgment upon all the nations.
27 The LORD of Heaven's Armies has spoken-- who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?"
28 This message came to me the year King Ahaz died:
29 Do not rejoice, you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken-- that the king who attacked you is dead. For from that snake a more poisonous snake will be born, a fiery serpent to destroy you!
30 I will feed the poor in my pasture; the needy will lie down in peace. But as for you, I will wipe you out with famine and destroy the few who remain.
31 Wail at the gates! Weep in the cities! Melt with fear, you Philistines! A powerful army comes like smoke from the north. Each soldier rushes forward eager to fight.
32 What should we tell the Philistine messengers? Tell them, "The LORD has built Jerusalem; its walls will give refuge to his oppressed people."
1 For H3588 the LORD H3068 will have mercy H7355 on H853 Jacob, H3290 and will yet H5750 choose H977 Israel, H3478 and set H5117 them in H5921 their own land: H127 and the strangers H1616 shall be joined H3867 with H5921 them , and they shall cleave H5596 to H5921 the house H1004 of Jacob. H3290
2 And the people H5971 shall take H3947 them , and bring H935 them to H413 their place: H4725 and the house H1004 of Israel H3478 shall possess H5157 them in H5921 the land H127 of the LORD H3068 for servants H5650 and handmaids: H8198 and they shall take H1961 them captives, H7617 whose captives H7617 they were ; and they shall rule over H7287 their oppressors. H5065
3 And it shall come to pass H1961 in the day H3117 that the LORD H3068 shall give thee rest H5117 from thy sorrow H4480 H6090 , and from thy fear H4480 H7267 , and from H4480 the hard H7186 bondage H5656 wherein H834 thou wast made to serve, H5647
4 That thou shalt take up H5375 this H2088 proverb H4912 against H5921 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and say, H559 How H349 hath the oppressor H5065 ceased H7673 ! the golden city H4062 ceased H7673 !
5 The LORD H3068 hath broken H7665 the staff H4294 of the wicked, H7563 and the scepter H7626 of the rulers. H4910
6 He who smote H5221 the people H5971 in wrath H5678 with a continual stroke H1115 H5627, H4347 he that ruled H7287 the nations H1471 in anger, H639 is persecuted, H4783 and none H1097 hindereth. H2820
7 The whole H3605 earth H776 is at rest, H5117 and is quiet: H8252 they break forth H6476 into singing. H7440
8 Yea H1571 , the fir trees H1265 rejoice H8055 at thee, and the cedars H730 of Lebanon, H3844 saying , Since H4480 H227 thou art laid down, H7901 no H3808 feller H3772 is come up H5927 against H5921 us.
9 Hell H7585 from beneath H4480 H8478 is moved H7264 for thee to meet H7122 thee at thy coming: H935 it stirreth up H5782 the dead H7496 for thee, even all H3605 the chief ones H6260 of the earth; H776 it hath raised up H6965 from their thrones H4480 H3678 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the nations. H1471
10 All H3605 they shall speak H6030 and say H559 unto thee , Art thou H859 also H1571 become weak H2470 as we? art thou become like H4911 unto H413 us?
11 Thy pomp H1347 is brought down H3381 to the grave, H7585 and the noise H1998 of thy viols: H5035 the worm H7415 is spread H3331 under H8478 thee , and the worms H8438 cover H4374 thee.
12 How H349 art thou fallen H5307 from heaven H4480 H8064 , O Lucifer, H1966 son H1121 of the morning H7837 ! how art thou cut down H1438 to the ground, H776 which didst weaken H2522 H5921 the nations H1471 !
13 For thou H859 hast said H559 in thine heart, H3824 I will ascend H5927 into heaven, H8064 I will exalt H7311 my throne H3678 above H4480 H4605 the stars H3556 of God: H410 I will sit H3427 also upon the mount H2022 of the congregation, H4150 in the sides H3411 of the north: H6828
14 I will ascend H5927 above H5921 the heights H1116 of the clouds; H5645 I will be like H1819 the most High. H5945
15 Yet H389 thou shalt be brought down H3381 to H413 hell, H7585 to H413 the sides H3411 of the pit. H953
16 They that see H7200 thee shall narrowly look H7688 upon H413 thee, and consider H995 thee, saying, Is this H2088 the man H376 that made the earth H776 to tremble, H7264 that did shake H7493 kingdoms; H4467
17 That made H7760 the world H8398 as a wilderness, H4057 and destroyed H2040 the cities H5892 thereof; that opened H6605 not H3808 the house H1004 of his prisoners H615 ?
18 All H3605 the kings H4428 of the nations, H1471 even all H3605 of them, lie H7901 in glory, H3519 every one H376 in his own house. H1004
19 But thou H859 art cast H7993 out of thy grave H4480 H6913 like an abominable H8581 branch, H5342 and as the raiment H3830 of those that are slain, H2026 thrust through H2944 with a sword, H2719 that go down H3381 to H413 the stones H68 of the pit; H953 as a carcass H6297 trodden under feet. H947
20 Thou shalt not H3808 be joined H3161 with H854 them in burial, H6900 because H3588 thou hast destroyed H7843 thy land, H776 and slain H2026 thy people: H5971 the seed H2233 of evildoers H7489 shall never H3808 H5769 be renowned. H7121
21 Prepare H3559 slaughter H4293 for his children H1121 for the iniquity H5771 of their fathers; H1 that they do not H1077 rise, H6965 nor possess H3423 the land, H776 nor fill H4390 the face H6440 of the world H8398 with cities. H5892
22 For I will rise up H6965 against H5921 them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and cut off H3772 from Babylon H894 the name, H8034 and remnant, H7605 and son, H5209 and nephew, H5220 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
23 I will also make H7760 it a possession H4180 for the bittern, H7090 and pools H98 of water: H4325 and I will sweep H2894 it with the broom H4292 of destruction, H8045 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
24 The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sworn, H7650 saying, H559 Surely H518 H3808 as H834 I have thought, H1819 so H3651 shall it come to pass; H1961 and as H834 I have purposed, H3289 so shall it H1931 stand: H6965
25 That I will break H7665 the Assyrian H804 in my land, H776 and upon H5921 my mountains H2022 tread him under foot: H947 then shall his yoke H5923 depart H5493 from off H4480 H5921 them , and his burden H5448 depart H5493 from off H4480 H5921 their shoulders. H7926
26 This H2063 is the purpose H6098 that is purposed H3289 upon H5921 the whole H3605 earth: H776 and this H2063 is the hand H3027 that is stretched out H5186 upon H5921 all H3605 the nations. H1471
27 For H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath purposed, H3289 and who H4310 shall disannul H6565 it ? and his hand H3027 is stretched out, H5186 and who H4310 shall turn it back H7725 ?
28 In the year H8141 that king H4428 Ahaz H271 died H4194 was H1961 this H2088 burden. H4853
29 Rejoice H8055 not H408 thou, whole H3605 Philistia, H6429 because H3588 the rod H7626 of him that H3588 smote H5221 thee is broken: H7665 for out of the serpent's root H4480 H8328 H5175 shall come forth H3318 a cockatrice, H6848 and his fruit H6529 shall be a fiery flying serpent H8314. H5774
30 And the firstborn H1060 of the poor H1800 shall feed, H7462 and the needy H34 shall lie down H7257 in safety: H983 and I will kill H4191 thy root H8328 with famine, H7458 and he shall slay H2026 thy remnant. H7611
31 Howl H3213 , O gate; H8179 cry, H2199 O city; H5892 thou, whole H3605 Philistia, H6429 art dissolved: H4127 for H3588 there shall come H935 from the north H4480 H6828 a smoke, H6227 and none H369 shall be alone H909 in his appointed times. H4151
32 What H4100 shall one then answer H6030 the messengers H4397 of the nation H1471 ? That H3588 the LORD H3068 hath founded H3245 Zion, H6726 and the poor H6041 of his people H5971 shall trust H2620 in it.
