Isaiah 14:28-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
An Oracle against Philistia
28 In the year that King Ahaz died,(A) this oracle came:(B)
29 Don’t rejoice, all of you in Philistia,
because the rod of the one who struck you(C) is broken.
For a viper will come from the root[a] of a snake,
and from its egg comes a flying serpent.(D)
30 Then the firstborn(E) of the poor will be well fed,
and the impoverished will lie down in safety,
but I will kill your root with hunger,
and your remnant will be slain.[b]

A Prophecy Against the Philistines
28 This prophecy(A) came in the year(B) King Ahaz(C) died:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(D)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(E)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(F)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(G) will lie down in safety.(H)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(I)
it will slay(J) your survivors.(K)
