Isaiah 14:1-7 ▼

1 But the LORD will take pity on Jacob and again choose Israel, and will settle them on their own land; foreigners will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

2 The nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves on the Lord’s land; they will take captive their captors and rule over their oppressors.

3 On the day when the LORD gives you rest from your sorrow and turmoil, from the hard service with which you served,

4 you will take up this taunt-song against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has come to an end! how the turmoil has ended!

5 The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the staff of the tyrants

6 That struck the peoples in wrath with relentless blows; That ruled the nations in anger, with boundless persecution.

7 The whole earth rests peacefully, song breaks forth;
