Isaiah 14:29-31
International Standard Version
29 “Don’t rejoice, all of you Philistines,
that the rod that struck you is broken,
because from the snake’s root a viper will spring up,
and its offspring[a] will be a darting, poisonous serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy will lie down in safety;
but I’ll kill your root[b] by famine,
and I’ll[c] execute your survivors.
31 Wail, you gate!
Cry out, you city!
Melt away,[d] all you Philistines!
For smoke comes from the north,
and there’s no one to take measure[e] in its festivals.[f]
