Isaias

XIV. 1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet (again) choose Israel, and set them on their own ground: and the stranger shall join himself unto them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 And peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place and the house of Israel shall take them as their possession upon the ’s ground for servants and for handmaids; and they shall be captors to their captors 3 and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3 And it shall be in that day that the LORD giveth thee rest from thy pain and thy disquiet, and from the hard bondage which was laid upon thee,

4 That thou shalt take up this ’parable over the king Of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased, the insolence ceased!

5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the the rod of rulers,

6 Which smote peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, ruled over nations in anger with a pursuit that none restrained.

7 The whole earth is at rest, is quiet; they break forth into Singing.

8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, (saying,) Since thou hast lain down, the feller cometh not up against us.
