	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.	For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.	The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2	And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives to them ; and they that had lordship over them shall be under their rule.	And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land as male and female slaves. They will take captive those who were their captors, and rule over those who oppressed them.	Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
3	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, and from thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.	When the LORD has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve,	On the day the LORD gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you,
4	And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!	you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: “How the oppressor has ceased, the insolent fury ceased!	you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended!
5	The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.	The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers,	The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6	Having smitten a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, smiting a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared them not, he rested in quiet.	that struck the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution.	which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression.
7	All the earth cries aloud with joy:	The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.	All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing.
8	the trees also of Libanus rejoice against thee, and the cedar of Libanus, saying , From the time that thou hast been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.	The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, ‘Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.’	Even the junipers and the cedars of Lebanon gloat over you and say, “Now that you have been laid low, no one comes to cut us down.”
9	Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.	Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.	The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you— all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones— all those who were kings over the nations.
10	All shall answer and say to thee, Thou also hast been taken, even as we; and thou art numbered amongst us.	All of them will answer and say to you: ‘You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!’	They will all respond, they will say to you, “You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us.”
11	Thy glory has come down to Hades, and thy great mirth: under thee they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be thy covering.	Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are laid as a bed beneath you, and worms are your covers.	All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.
12	How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent orders to all the nations is crushed to the earth.	“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!	How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13	But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:	You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;	You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14	I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.	I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’	I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
15	But now thou shalt go down to hell, even to the foundations of the earth.	But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.	But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
16	They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;	Those who see you will stare at you and ponder over you: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,	Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,
17	that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.	who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?’	the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?”
18	All the kings of the nations lie in honour, every man in his house.	All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb;	All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19	But thou shalt be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.	but you are cast out, away from your grave, like a loathed branch, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a dead body trampled underfoot.	But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20	As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure for ever, - thou an evil seed.	You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, you have slain your people. “May the offspring of evildoers nevermore be named!	you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. Let the offspring of the wicked never be mentioned again.
21	Prepare thy children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.	Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers, lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.”	Prepare a place to slaughter his children for the sins of their ancestors; they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.
22	And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.	“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of hosts, “and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, descendants and posterity,” declares the LORD.	“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors, her offspring and descendants,” declares the LORD.
23	And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell there , and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.	“And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of hosts.	“I will turn her into a place for owls and into swampland; I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD Almighty.
24	Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so the matter shall remain:	The LORD of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,	The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
25	even to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.	that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains trample him underfoot; and his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder.”	I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26	This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.	This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.	This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
27	For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?	For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?	For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
28	In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.	In the year that King Ahaz died came this oracle:	This prophecy came in the year King Ahaz died:
29	Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,	Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod that struck you is broken, for from the serpent’s root will come forth an adder, and its fruit will be a flying fiery serpent.	Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.
30	And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.	And the firstborn of the poor will graze, and the needy lie down in safety; but I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant it will slay.	The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety. But your root I will destroy by famine; it will slay your survivors.
31	Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, even all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no possibility of living.	Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.	Wail, you gate! Howl, you city! Melt away, all you Philistines! A cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there is not a straggler in its ranks.
32	And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.	What will one answer the messengers of the nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge.”	What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.”
