Isaiah 14:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² People of other nations will help Israel's people to return to their own country. When they are living again in the land that the Lord gave to them, foreign people will become their servants, both men and women. In that way, the people who made the Israelites prisoners will be prisoners themselves! The Israelites will rule over the people who had been cruel to them.

The king of Babylon will die

³ At that time, the Lord will let you live safely, without trouble and without pain. You will no longer have to work for cruel people, as their slaves. ⁴ Then you will laugh at the king of Babylon. You will say to him,

‘Now you cannot be cruel to us any more! Your power to cause trouble has finished!
