Isaiah 14:29-31
The Voice
29 Don’t get too excited, Philistia, because your enemy is dead.
The rod that struck you may be broken,
But from the root of the serpent, a viper will come out;
the offspring of that viper will be a flying cobra.
30 The poor among us will have enough to eat;
the needy and most vulnerable will sleep in peace.
But I will go after your key people with famine,
and then wipe out any who remain.
31 Look out, Philistia; you will soon vanish!
Let your gates and your city walls cry out!
It’ll be bad for you soon, because an army from the north
Is bearing down on you, burning cities in its wake;
and there is not a straggler in its ranks.
