For Jehovah{H3068} will have compassion{H7355} on Jacob,{H3290} and will yet choose{H977} Israel,{H3478} and set{H3240} them in their own land:{H127} and the sojourner{H1616} shall join{H3867} himself with them, and they shall cleave{H5596} to the house{H1004} of Jacob.{H3290}

And the peoples{H5971} shall take{H3947} them, and bring{H935} them to their place;{H4725} and the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} shall possess{H5157} them in the land{H127} of Jehovah{H3068} for servants{H5650} and for handmaids:{H8198} and they shall take them captive{H7617} whose captives{H7617} they were; and they shall rule{H7287} over their oppressors.{H5065}

And it shall come to pass in the day{H3117} that Jehovah{H3068} shall give thee rest{H5117} from thy sorrow,{H6090} and from thy trouble,{H6090} and from the hard{H7186} service{H5656} wherein thou wast made to serve,{H5647}

that thou shalt take up{H5375} this parable{H4912} against the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} and say,{H559} How hath the oppressor{H5065} ceased!{H7673} the golden city{H4062} ceased!{H7673}

Jehovah{H3068} hath broken{H7665} the staff{H4294} of the wicked,{H7563} the sceptre{H7626} of the rulers;{H4910}

that smote{H5221} the peoples{H5971} in wrath{H5678} with a continual{H1115} stroke,{H4347} that ruled{H7287} the nations{H1471} in anger,{H639} with a persecution{H4783} that none{H1097} restrained.{H2820}

The whole earth{H776} is at rest,{H5117} [and] is quiet:{H8252} they break forth{H6476} into singing.{H7440}

Yea, the fir-trees{H1265} rejoice{H8055} at thee, [and] the cedars{H730} of Lebanon,{H3844} [saying], Since thou art laid low,{H7901} no hewer{H3772} is come up{H5927} against us.

Sheol{H7585} from beneath is moved{H7264} for thee to meet{H7125} thee at thy coming;{H935} it stirreth up{H5782} the dead{H7496} for thee, even all the chief ones{H6260} of the earth;{H776} it hath raised up{H6965} from their thrones{H3678} all the kings{H4428} of the nations.{H1471}

All they shall answer{H6030} and say{H559} unto thee, Art thou also become weak{H2470} as we? art thou become like{H4911} unto us?

Thy pomp{H1347} is brought down{H3381} to Sheol,{H7585} [and] the noise{H1998} of thy viols:{H5035} the worm{H7415} is spread{H3331} under thee, and worms{H8438} cover{H4374} thee.

How art thou fallen{H5307} from heaven,{H8064} O day-star,{H1966} son{H1121} of the morning!{H7837} how art thou cut down{H1438} to the ground,{H776} that didst lay low{H2522} the nations!{H1471}

And thou saidst{H559} in thy heart,{H3824} I will ascend{H5927} into heaven,{H8064} I will exalt{H7311} my throne{H3678} above{H4605} the stars{H3556} of God;{H410} and I will sit{H3427} upon the mount{H2022} of congregation,{H4150} in the uttermost parts{H3411} of the north;{H6828}

I will ascend{H5927} above the heights{H1116} of the clouds;{H5645} I will make myself like{H1819} the Most High.{H5945}

Yet thou shalt be brought down{H3381} to Sheol,{H7585} to the uttermost parts{H3411} of the pit.{H953}

They that see{H7200} thee shall gaze{H7688} at thee, they shall consider{H995} thee, [saying], Is this the man{H376} that made the earth{H776} to tremble,{H7264} that did shake{H7493} kingdoms;{H4467}

that made{H7760} the world{H8398} as a wilderness,{H4057} and overthrew{H2040} the cities{H5892} thereof; that let not loose{H6605} his prisoners{H615} to their home?{H1004}

All the kings{H4428} of the nations,{H1471} all of them, sleep{H7901} in glory,{H3519} every one{H376} in his own house.{H1004}

But thou art cast forth{H7993} away from thy sepulchre{H6913} like an abominable{H8581} branch,{H5342} clothed{H3830} with the slain,{H2026} that are thrust through{H2944} with the sword,{H2719} that go down{H3381} to the stones{H68} of the pit;{H953} as a dead body{H6297} trodden under foot.{H947}

Thou shalt not be joined{H3161} with them in burial,{H6900} because thou hast destroyed{H7843} thy land,{H776} thou hast slain{H2026} thy people;{H5971} the seed{H2233} of evil-doers{H7489} shall not be named{H7121} for ever.{H5769}

Prepare{H3559} ye slaughter{H4293} for his children{H1121} for the iniquity{H5771} of their fathers,{H1} that they rise{H6965} not{H1077} up, and possess{H3423} the earth,{H776} and fill{H4390} the face{H6440} of the world{H8398} with cities.{H6145}

And I will rise up{H6965} against them, saith{H5002} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} and cut off{H3772} from Babylon{H894} name{H8034} and remnant,{H7605} and son{H5209} and son's son,{H5220} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

I will also make{H7760} it a possession{H4180} for the porcupine,{H7090} and pools{H98} of water:{H4325} and I will sweep{H2894} it with the besom{H4292} of destruction,{H8045} saith{H5002} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath sworn,{H7650} saying,{H559} Surely, as I have thought,{H1819} so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed,{H3289} so shall it stand:{H6965}

that I will break{H7665} the Assyrian{H804} in my land,{H776} and upon my mountains{H2022} tread him under foot:{H947} then shall his yoke{H5923} depart{H5493} from off them, and his burden{H5448} depart{H5493} from off their shoulder.{H7926}

This is the purpose{H6098} that is purposed{H3289} upon the whole earth;{H776} and this is the hand{H3027} that is stretched out{H5186} upon all the nations.{H1471}

For Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath purposed,{H3289} and who shall annul{H6565} it? and his hand{H3027} is stretched out,{H5186} and who shall turn it back?{H7725}

In the year{H8141} that king{H4428} Ahaz{H271} died{H4194} was this burden.{H4853}

Rejoice{H8055} not, O Philistia,{H6429} all of thee, because the rod{H7626} that smote{H5221} thee is broken;{H7665} for out of the serpent's{H5175} root{H8328} shall come forth{H3318} an adder,{H6848} and his fruit{H6529} shall be a fiery{H8314} flying{H5774} serpent.{H8314}

And the first-born{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 thy remnant{H7611} shall be slain.{H2026}

Howl,{H3213} O gate;{H8179} cry,{H2199} O city;{H5892} thou art melted{H4127} away, O Philistia,{H6429} all of thee; for there cometh{H935} a smoke{H6227} out of the north,{H6828} and there is no straggler{H909} in his ranks.{H4151}

What then shall one answer{H6030} the messengers{H4397} of the nation?{H1471} That Jehovah{H3068} hath founded{H3245} Zion,{H6726} and in her shall the afflicted{H6041} of his people{H5971} take refuge.{H2620}
