Text -- Isaiah 14:1-16 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
14:1 The Lord will certainly have compassion on Jacob ; he will again choose Israel as his special people and restore them to their land . Resident foreigners will join them and unite with the family of Jacob .
14:2 Nations will take them and bring them back to their own place . Then the family of Jacob will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the Lord’s land . They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppressed them.
14:3 When the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and anxiety , and from the hard labor which you were made to perform ,
14:4 you will taunt the king of Babylon with these words: “Look how the oppressor has met his end ! Hostility has ceased !
14:5 The Lord has broken the club of the wicked , the scepter of rulers .
14:6 It furiously struck down nations with unceasing blows . It angrily ruled over nations , oppressing them without restraint .
14:7 The whole earth rests and is quiet ; they break into song .
14:8 The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, as do the cedars of Lebanon , singing, ‘Since you fell asleep , no woodsman comes up to chop us down !’
14:9 Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive . It rouses the spirits of the dead for you, all the former leaders of the earth ; it makes all the former kings of the nations rise from their thrones .
14:10 All of them respond to you, saying : ‘You too have become weak like us! You have become just like us!
14:11 Your splendor has been brought down to Sheol , as well as the sound of your stringed instruments . You lie on a bed of maggots , with a blanket of worms over you.
14:12 Look how you have fallen from the sky , O shining one, son of the dawn ! You have been cut down to the ground , O conqueror of the nations !
14:13 You said to yourself , “I will climb up to the sky . Above the stars of El I will set up my throne . I will rule on the mountain of assembly on the remote slopes of Zaphon .
14:14 I will climb up to the tops of the clouds ; I will make myself like the Most High !”
14:15 But you were brought down to Sheol , to the remote slopes of the pit .
14:16 Those who see you stare at you, they look at you carefully , thinking: “Is this the man who shook the earth , the one who made kingdoms tremble ?
