Isaiah 14:28-30
Contemporary English Version
The Philistines Will Be Punished
28 (A) This message came from the Lord in the year King Ahaz died:[a]
29 (B) Philistines, don't be happy
just because the rod
that punished you
is broken.
That rod will become
a poisonous snake, and then
a flying fiery dragon.
30 The poor and needy will find
pastures for their sheep
and will live in safety.
But I will starve some of you,
and others will be killed.
