Isaiah 14:28-30
International Standard Version
A Pronouncement against Philistia
28 In the year that King Ahaz died this message[a] came:
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[b] 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[c] by famine,
and I’ll[d] execute your survivors.
