14:4

That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)

this proverb
<04912>

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

the golden city
<04062>

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}

14:5

The LORD
<03068>

hath broken
<07665> (8804)

the staff
<04294>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

[and] the sceptre
<07626>

of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.

14:6

He who smote
<05221> (8688)

the people
<05971>

in wrath
<05678>

with a continual
<01115> <05627>

stroke
<04347>_,

he that ruled
<07287> (8802)

the nations
<01471>

in anger
<0639>_,

is persecuted
<04783>_,

[and] none
<01097>

hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.

{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}

14:7

The whole earth
<0776>

is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,

[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:

they break forth
<06476> (8804)

into singing
<07440>_.

14:8

Yea, the fir trees
<01265>

rejoice
<08055> (8804)

at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>

of Lebanon
<03844>_,

[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,

no feller
<03772> (8802)

is come up
<05927> (8799)

against us.

14:9

Hell
<07585>

from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)

for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)

[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:

it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)

the dead
<07496>

for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>

of the earth
<0776>_;

it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)

from their thrones
<03678>

all the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_.

{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}

14:10

All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)

as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)

unto us?

14:11

Thy pomp
<01347>

is brought down
<03381> (8717)

to the grave
<07585>_,

[and] the noise
<01998>

of thy viols
<05035>_:

the worm
<07415>

is spread
<03331> (8714)

under thee, and the worms
<08438>

cover
<04374>

thee.

14:12

How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

O Lucifer
<01966>_,

son
<01121>

of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!

[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)

to the ground
<0776>_,

which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)

the nations
<01471>_!

{O Lucifer: or, O day star}

14:13

For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

into heaven
<08064>_,

I will exalt
<07311> (8686)

my throne
<03678>

above
<04605>

the stars
<03556>

of God
<0410>_:

I will sit
<03427> (8799)

also upon the mount
<02022>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

in the sides
<03411>

of the north
<06828>_:

14:14

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

above the heights
<01116>

of the clouds
<05645>_;

I will be like
<01819> (8691)

the most High
<05945>_.

14:15

Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)

to hell
<07585>_,

to the sides
<03411>

of the pit
<0953>_.

14:16

They that see
<07200> (8802)

thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)

upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)

thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>

that made the earth
<0776>

to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,

that did shake
<07493> (8688)

kingdoms
<04467>_;

14:17

[That] made
<07760> (8804)

the world
<08398>

as a wilderness
<04057>_,

and destroyed
<02040> (8804)

the cities
<05892>

thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)

not the house
<01004>

of his prisoners
<0615>_?

{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}

14:18

All the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_,

[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)

in glory
<03519>_,

every one
<0376>

in his own house
<01004>_.

14:19

But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)

of thy grave
<06913>

like an abominable
<08581> (8737)

branch
<05342>_,

[and as] the raiment
<03830>

of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,

thrust through
<02944> (8794)

with a sword
<02719>_,

that go down
<03381> (8802)

to the stones
<068>

of the pit
<0953>_;

as a carcase
<06297>

trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.

14:20

Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)

with them in burial
<06900>_,

because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)

thy land
<0776>_,

[and] slain
<02026> (8804)

thy people
<05971>_:

the seed
<02233>

of evildoers
<07489> (8688)

shall never
<05769>

be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.

14:21

Prepare
<03559> (8685)

slaughter
<04293>

for his children
<01121>

for the iniquity
<05771>

of their fathers
<01>_;

that they do not
<01077>

rise
<06965> (8799)_,

nor possess
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

nor fill
<04390> (8804)

the face
<06440>

of the world
<08398>

with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.

14:22

For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)

against them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Babylon
<0894>

the name
<08034>_,

and remnant
<07605>_,

and son
<05209>_,

and nephew
<05220>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

14:23

I will also make
<07760> (8804)

it a possession
<04180>

for the bittern
<07090>_,

and pools
<098>

of water
<04325>_:

and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)

it with the besom
<04292>

of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.
