Yeshayah 14
14
1For Hashem will have compassion on Ya'akov, and will yet choose Yisroel, and set them in their own adamah (land); and the ger (alien) shall be joined with them, and they shall unite themselves to the Bais Ya'akov.
2And the nations shall take them, and bring them to their makom (place, home); and Bais Yisroel shall possess them as an inheritance in the Admat Hashem (Land of Hashem) for avadim and shifchot; and they shall take their captors captive; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3And it shall come to pass in the day that Hashem shall give thee rest from thy etzev (sorrow), and from thy rogez (turmoil), and from the avodah hakashah (hard bondage) wherein thou wast made to serve,
4That thou shalt take up this mashal against Melech Bavel, and say, How hath the nogesh (oppressor) ceased! How hast fury ceased!
5 Hashem hath broken the matteh (rod) of the resha'im (wicked), and the shevet (sceptre) of the moshlim (rulers).
6Which struck the peoples in wrath with makkat bilti sarah (a continual stroke), which ruled the Goyim in anger, with unrestrained aggression.
7Kol ha'aretz is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into rinnah (joyful shouts).
8Indeed, the cypress trees rejoice over thee, and the cedars of Levanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no hakoret ([forest] cutter) is come up against us.
9Sheol from beneath is astir for thee to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the refa'im for thee, even all the attudei aretz (he-goat world leaders); it hath raised up from their kise'ot (thrones) all the melachim of the Goyim.
10Kullam (all of them) shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
11Thy ga'on (pomp, pride) is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of thy nevalim (harps); the rimmah (grave-worm) is spread out under thee, and the tola'at (worm) covers thee.
12How art thou fallen from Shomayim, O Heilel Ben Shachar (Bright One of the Dawn, Day Star, Lucifer)! How art thou cast down to the earth, thou, which hast laid low the Goyim!
13For thou hast said in thine lev, I will ascend into Shomayim, I will exalt my kisse above the kokhavim (stars) of El (G-d); I will sit also upon the har mo'ed (mount of assembly), on yarketei Tzafon (on the heights of Tzafon);
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like Elyon (the Most High).
15Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the bor (pit).
16They that see thee shall gaze at thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the ish (man) that made ha'aretz to tremble, that did shake mamlechot (kingdoms);
17That made the tevel (world) like a midbar (desert), and overthrew the towns thereof; that would not release his prisoners to go home?
18Kol melachim (all kings) of the Goyim, even all of them, lie in kavod, every one in his own bais (house, i.e., tomb).
19But thou art cast out of thy kever like a rejected netzer#14:19 see Mt 2:23 (branch); and your raiment is those that are slain, thrust through with a cherev, that go down to the stones of the bor (pit); as a peger (corpse) trodden under feet.
20Thou shalt not be joined with them in kevurah (burial), because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people; the zera of ra'im (evildoers) shall never be renowned.
21Prepare the matbe'ach (slaughterhouse) for his banim for the avon (iniquity) of their avot; that they do not rise, nor inherit eretz, nor cover the surface of the tevel (earth) with towns.
22For I will rise up against them, saith Hashem Tzva'os, and I will cut off from Bavel the shem, and she'ar (remainder), and offspring, and posterity, saith Hashem.
23I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and swamps of mayim; and I will sweep it with the mat'ate (broom) of shmad (destruction), saith Hashem Tzva'os.
24 Hashem Tzva'os hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have intended, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand;
25That I will break Ashur (the Assyrian) in My land, and upon My harim (mountains) trample him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden be removed from off their shekhem (shoulder).
26This is the etzah (plan) that is purposed upon kol ha'aretz; and this is the Yad (hand) that is stretched out over kol HaGoyim (all the nations).
27For Hashem Tzva'os hath purposed, and who shall annul it? And His Yad is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28In the year of the mot HaMelech Achaz came this massa (burden, oracle);
29Rejoice not thou, all ye of Peleshet (Philistia), because the shevet (rod) of him that struck thee is broken; for out of the shoresh nachash (snakeʼs root) shall spring up a viper, and its pri (fruit) shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30And the bechorei dalim (the firstborn of the poor ones) shall eat, and the evyonim (needy ones) shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy shoresh (root) with ra'av (famine), and it shall slay thy she'erit (remnant, survivors).
31Wail, O sha'ar (gate); howl, O ir; all ye of Peleshet, melt away; for there shall come from the tzafon (north) an ashan (smoke), and none shall be a straggler in his ranks.
32What shall one then answer the malachim (messengers) of the nation? That Hashem hath established Tziyon, and the afflicted of His people shall take refuge in her.

Isaiah 14
14
God’s People Restored
1For Adonai will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The outsider will join himself with them and will cling to the house of Jacob.
2The peoples will take them and escort them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the land of Adonai as servants and handmaids. They will take their captors captive, and rule over their oppressors.
Taunt Against Babylon’s King
3Now in the day when Adonai will give you rest from your sorrow and your turmoil, and from the hard service you were forced to do,
4you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon and say: “How the taskmaster has ceased! The raging oppressor, exacter of gold, has ceased!
5Adonai has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6which struck the people in wrath with continual strokes, which ruled the nations in fury, with relentless persecution.
7The whole earth is at rest, and quiet. They break forth with a ringing cry!
8Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, along with the cedars of Lebanon: “Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.”
9Sheol from below is excited about you, to meet you at your coming! He stirs up the dead spirits for you, even the chief ones of the earth. He makes all the kings of the nations rise up from their thrones.
10They all answer and say to you: “Even you have become as weak as us? Have you become like us?
11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.”
Shining One Fallen From Heaven
12How you have fallen from heaven, O brightstar, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the earth, you who made the nations prostrate!
13You said in your heart: “I will ascend to heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north.
14I will ascend above the high places of the clouds— I will make myself like Elyon.”
15Yet you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest parts of the Pit.
16Those who see you will stare at you, reflecting on what has become of you: “Is this the one who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble,
17who made the world a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who never opened the house of his prisoners?”
18All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, each in his own house.
19But you are cast out of your tomb as a discarded branch, garment of the slain, pierced with a sword, dumped into a stony pit, a corpse trodden underfoot.
20You will not join with them in burial, because you ruined your land, you slaughtered your own people. The offspring of evildoers will never be named.
21Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers, so they would not rise up and possess the land, or fill the face of the earth with cities.
22“For I will rise up against them”—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot—“and I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, offshoot and offspring,” declares Adonai.
23“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, with marshes of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction.” It is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot.
24Adonai Tzva’ot has sworn, saying: “Surely, as I thought it, so it will be. As I have purposed, so it will stand.
25I will break Assyria in My land. On My mountains I will trample him. Then his yoke will be taken off them, his burden removed from their shoulder.
26This is the purpose planned for the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.”
27For Adonai-Tzva’ot has purposed, so who will annul it? Since His hand is stretched out, who will turn it back?
Doom of Philistia
28In the year king Ahaz died came this burden:
29Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod that struck you is broken. For from the serpent’s root comes a viper and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
30The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety. I will kill your root with famine, and your survivors will be slain.
31Wail, O gate! Cry, O city! Melt away, all you of Philistia! For smoke is coming from the north, and there is no straggler in its ranks.
32What will they answer the messengers of the nation? For Adonai has founded Zion, and the afflicted of His people will find refuge in her.
