29 “Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, || That the rod of your striker has been broken, || For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, || And its fruit [is] a flying, burning serpent. 30 And the firstborn of the poor have delighted, || And the needy lie down in confidence, || And I have put to death your root with famine, || And it slays your remnant. 31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, || You are melted, Philistia, all of you, || For smoke has come from the north, || And there is none alone in his set places.” 32 And what does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, || And the poor of His people take refuge in it! Isaiah 14:29-32, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
