Whenh3588 the LORDh3068 will  ahaveh7355 compassionh7355 on Jacobh3290 and againh5750  bchooseh977 Israelh3478, and settleh5117 them in their own landh127, then  cstrangersh1616 will joinh3867a them and attachh5596 themselves to the househ1004 of Jacobh3290.

2

The peoplesh5971a will takeh3947 them along and bringh935 them to their placeh4725, and the  ahouseh1004 of Israelh3478 will possessh5157 them as an inheritanceh5157 in the landh127 of the LORDh3068  bas maleh5650 servantsh5650 and femaleh8198 servantsh5650h8198; and  1they will takeh1961 their captorsh7617 captiveh7617 and will ruleh7287a over their oppressorsh5065.

3

And it will be in the dayh3117 when the LORDh3068 givesh5117 you  aresth5117 from your painh6090a and turmoilh7267 and harshh7186 serviceh5656 in whichh834 you have been enslavedh5647,

4

that you will  atakeh5375 up thish2088  1taunth4912 againsth5921 the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, and sayh559, "Howh349  bthe oppressorh5065 has ceasedh7673a, And how  2furyh4787b has ceasedh7673a!

5

"The LORDh3068 has brokenh7665 the staffh4294 of the wickedh7563, The scepterh7626 of rulersh4910

6

 aWhich used to strikeh5221 the peoplesh5971a in furyh5678 with unceasingh1115h5627 strokesh4347, Which  1subduedh7287a the nationsh1471 in angerh639 with unrestrainedh2820h1097 persecutionh4783.

7

"The wholeh3605 earthh776 is at resth5117 and is quieth8252; They  abreakh6476 forthh6476 into shoutsh7440 of joyh7440.

8

"Evenh1571 the  acypressh1265 treesh1265 rejoiceh8055 over you, and the cedarsh730 of Lebanonh3844, saying, `Sinceh3975b you were laidh7901 lowh7901, noh3808 tree cutterh3772 comesh5927 up againsth5921 us.'

9

aSheolh7585 from beneathh4480h8478 is excitedh7264 over you to meeth7122 you when you comeh935; It arousesh5782 for you the  1spiritsh7496 of the deadh7496, allh3605 the  2leadersh6260 of the earthh776; It raisesh6965 allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the nationsh1471 from their thronesh3678.

10

aThey will allh3605 respondh6030a and sayh559 to you, `Evenh1571 you have been madeh2470a weakh2470a as we, You have becomeh4911a likeh4911a us.

11

`Your  apomph1347b and the musich1998 of your harpsh5035b Have been broughth3381 downh3381 to Sheolh7585; Maggotsh7415 are spreadh3331 out as your bed beneathh8478 you And wormsh8439b are your coveringh4374.'

12

"Howh349 you have  afallenh5307 from heavenh4605, O  1 bstarh1966 of the morningh1966, sonh1121 of the dawnh7837! You have been cuth1438 downh1438 to the earthh776, You who have weakenedh2522 the nationsh1471!

13

"But you saidh559 in your hearth3824, `I will  aascendh5927 to heavenh4605; I will  braiseh7311 my throneh3678 aboveh4605 the starsh3556 of Godh410, And I will sith3427 on the mounth2022 of assemblyh4150 In the recessesh3411 of the northh6828.

14

`I will ascendh5927 aboveh5921 the heightsh1116 of the cloudsh5645;  aI will makeh1819 myself likeh1819 the Mosth5945b Highh5945b.'

15

"Neverthelessh389 you  awill be thrusth3381 downh3381 to Sheolh7585, To the recessesh3411 of the pith953a.

16

"Those who seeh7200 you will gazeh7688 at you, They will  1ponderh995 overh413 you, saying, `Is thish2088 the manh376 who made the earthh776 trembleh7264, Who shookh7493 kingdomsh4467,

17

Who madeh7760 the worldh8398 like a  awildernessh4057b And overthrewh2040 its citiesh5892b, Who  bdid not  1allowh6605a his prisonersh615 to go homeh1004?'

18

"Allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the nationsh1471 lieh7901 in gloryh3519b, Eachh376 in his own  1tombh1004.

19

"But you have been  acasth7993 out of your tombh6913 Like  1a rejectedh8581 branchh5342,  2Clothedh3830 with the slainh2026 who are piercedh2944 with a swordh2719, Who goh3381 downh3381 to the stonesh68 of the  bpith953a Like a  ctrampledh947 corpseh6297.

20

"You will not be unitedh3161 with them in burialh6900, Becauseh3588 you have ruinedh7843 your countryh776, You have slainh2026 your peopleh5971a. May the  aoffspringh2233 of evildoersh7489a not be mentionedh7121 foreverh5769.

21

"Prepareh3559 for his sonsh1121 a placeh4293 of slaughterh4293 Because of the  ainiquityh5771 of their fathersh1. They must not ariseh6965 and takeh3423 possessionh3423 of the earthh776 And fillh4390 the faceh6440 of the worldh8398 with citiesh5892b."

22

"I will riseh6965 up againsth5921 them," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "and will cuth3772 offh3772 from Babylonh894  anameh8034 and survivorsh7605,  boffspringh5209 and posterityh5220," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

23

"I will also makeh7760 it a possessionh4180 for the  ahedgehogh7090 and swampsh98 of waterh4325, and I will sweeph2894 it with the broomh4292 of  bdestructionh8045," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

24

The LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 has swornh7650 sayingh559, "Surelyh518h3808,  ajusth3512c as I have intendedh1819 soh3651 it has happenedh1961, and justh3512c as I have plannedh3289 so it will standh6965,

25

to  abreakh7665 Assyriah804b in My landh776, and I will trampleh947 him on My mountainsh2022. Then his  byokeh5923 will be removedh5493 from them and his burdenh5448 removedh5493 from their shoulderh7926.

26

"Thish384 is the  aplanh6098  1devisedh3289 againsth5921 the wholeh3605 earthh776; and thish384 is the  bhandh3027 that is stretchedh5186 out againsth5921 allh3605 the nationsh1471.

27

"For  athe LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 has plannedh3289, and whoh4310 can frustrateh6565a it? And as for His stretched-outh5186 handh3027, whoh4310 can turnh7725 it backh7725?"

28

In the  ayearh8141 that Kingh4428 Ahazh271 diedh4194 thish2088  1 boracleh4853b cameh1961:

Judgment on Philistia

29

"Do not rejoiceh8055, O  aPhilistiah6429, allh3605 of you, Becauseh3588 the rodh7626 that  bstruckh5221 you is brokenh7665; For from the serpent'sh5175 rooth8328 a  cviperh6848a will comeh3318 out, And its fruith6529 will be a  dflyingh5774a serpenth8314a.

30

1Those who are mosth1060  ahelplessh1800b will eath7462a, And the needyh34 will lieh7257 downh7257 in securityh983; I will  2destroyh4191 your rooth8328 with  bfamineh7458, And it will killh2026 off your survivorsh7611.

31

"Wailh3213, O  agateh8179; cryh2199, O cityh5892b;  1Melth4127 away, O  bPhilistiah6429, allh3605 of you; For smokeh6227 comesh935 from the  cnorthh6828, And  dthereh369 is noh369 stragglerh909 in his ranksh4151.

32

"Howh4100 then will one answerh6030a the  amessengersh4397 of the nationh1471? That  bthe LORDh3068 has foundedh3245 Zionh6726, And  cthe afflictedh6041 of His peopleh5971a will seekh2620 refugeh2620 in it."
