Dual Panel1For the LORD <03068> will have mercy <07355> (8762) on Jacob <03290>_, and will yet choose <0977> (8804) Israel <03478>_, and set <03240> (8689) them in their own land <0127>_: and the strangers <01616> shall be joined <03867> (8738) with them, and they shall cleave <05596> (8738) to the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>_.
2And the people <05971> shall take <03947> (8804) them, and bring <0935> (8689) them to their place <04725>_: and the house <01004> of Israel <03478> shall possess <05157> (8694) them in the land <0127> of the LORD <03068> for servants <05650> and handmaids <08198>_: and they shall take them captives <07617> (8802)_, whose captives <07617> (8802) they were; and they shall rule <07287> (8804) over their oppressors <05065> (8802)_. {whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}
3And it shall come to pass in the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> shall give thee rest <05117> (8687) from thy sorrow <06090>_, and from thy fear <07267>_, and from the hard <07186> bondage <05656> wherein thou wast made to serve <05647> (8795)_,
4That thou shalt take up <05375> (8804) this proverb <04912> against the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>_, and say <0559> (8804)_, How hath the oppressor <05065> (8802) ceased <07673> (8804)_! the golden city <04062> ceased <07673> (8804)_! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}
5The LORD <03068> hath broken <07665> (8804) the staff <04294> of the wicked <07563>_, [and] the sceptre <07626> of the rulers <04910> (8802)_.
6He who smote <05221> (8688) the people <05971> in wrath <05678> with a continual <01115> <05627> stroke <04347>_, he that ruled <07287> (8802) the nations <01471> in anger <0639>_, is persecuted <04783>_, [and] none <01097> hindereth <02820> (8804)_. {a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}
7The whole earth <0776> is at rest <05117> (8804)_, [and] is quiet <08252> (8804)_: they break forth <06476> (8804) into singing <07440>_.
8Yea, the fir trees <01265> rejoice <08055> (8804) at thee, [and] the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>_, [saying], Since thou art laid down <07901> (8804)_, no feller <03772> (8802) is come up <05927> (8799) against us.
9Hell <07585> from beneath is moved <07264> (8804) for thee to meet <07125> (8800) [thee] at thy coming <0935> (8800)_: it stirreth up <05782> (8790) the dead <07496> for thee, [even] all the chief ones <06260> of the earth <0776>_; it hath raised up <06965> (8689) from their thrones <03678> all the kings <04428> of the nations <01471>_. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
10All they shall speak <06030> (8799) and say <0559> (8799) unto thee, Art thou also become weak <02470> (8795) as we? art thou become like <04911> (8738) unto us?
11Thy pomp <01347> is brought down <03381> (8717) to the grave <07585>_, [and] the noise <01998> of thy viols <05035>_: the worm <07415> is spread <03331> (8714) under thee, and the worms <08438> cover <04374> thee.
12How art thou fallen <05307> (8804) from heaven <08064>_, O Lucifer <01966>_, son <01121> of the morning <07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_! [how] art thou cut down <01438> (8738) to the ground <0776>_, which didst weaken <02522> (8802) the nations <01471>_! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
13For thou hast said <0559> (8804) in thine heart <03824>_, I will ascend <05927> (8799) into heaven <08064>_, I will exalt <07311> (8686) my throne <03678> above <04605> the stars <03556> of God <0410>_: I will sit <03427> (8799) also upon the mount <02022> of the congregation <04150>_, in the sides <03411> of the north <06828>_:
14I will ascend <05927> (8799) above the heights <01116> of the clouds <05645>_; I will be like <01819> (8691) the most High <05945>_.
15Yet thou shalt be brought down <03381> (8714) to hell <07585>_, to the sides <03411> of the pit <0953>_.
16They that see <07200> (8802) thee shall narrowly look <07688> (8686) upon thee, [and] consider <0995> (8709) thee, [saying, Is] this the man <0376> that made the earth <0776> to tremble <07264> (8688)_, that did shake <07493> (8688) kingdoms <04467>_;
17[That] made <07760> (8804) the world <08398> as a wilderness <04057>_, and destroyed <02040> (8804) the cities <05892> thereof; [that] opened <06605> (8804) not the house <01004> of his prisoners <0615>_? {opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
18All the kings <04428> of the nations <01471>_, [even] all of them, lie <07901> (8804) in glory <03519>_, every one <0376> in his own house <01004>_.
19But thou art cast out <07993> (8717) of thy grave <06913> like an abominable <08581> (8737) branch <05342>_, [and as] the raiment <03830> of those that are slain <02026> (8803)_, thrust through <02944> (8794) with a sword <02719>_, that go down <03381> (8802) to the stones <068> of the pit <0953>_; as a carcase <06297> trodden under feet <0947> (8716)_.
20Thou shalt not be joined <03161> (8799) with them in burial <06900>_, because thou hast destroyed <07843> (8765) thy land <0776>_, [and] slain <02026> (8804) thy people <05971>_: the seed <02233> of evildoers <07489> (8688) shall never <05769> be renowned <07121> (8735)_.
21Prepare <03559> (8685) slaughter <04293> for his children <01121> for the iniquity <05771> of their fathers <01>_; that they do not <01077> rise <06965> (8799)_, nor possess <03423> (8804) the land <0776>_, nor fill <04390> (8804) the face <06440> of the world <08398> with cities <06145> (8676) <05892>_.
22For I will rise up <06965> (8804) against them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, and cut off <03772> (8689) from Babylon <0894> the name <08034>_, and remnant <07605>_, and son <05209>_, and nephew <05220>_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_.
23I will also make <07760> (8804) it a possession <04180> for the bittern <07090>_, and pools <098> of water <04325>_: and I will sweep <02894> (8773) it with the besom <04292> of destruction <08045> (8687)_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_.
24The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sworn <07650> (8738)_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Surely as I have thought <01819> (8765)_, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed <03289> (8804)_, [so] shall it stand <06965> (8799)_:
25That I will break <07665> (8800) the Assyrian <0804> in my land <0776>_, and upon my mountains <02022> tread him under foot <0947> (8799)_: then shall his yoke <05923> depart <05493> (8804) from off them, and his burden <05448> depart <05493> (8799) from off their shoulders <07926>_.
26This [is] the purpose <06098> that is purposed <03289> (8803) upon the whole earth <0776>_: and this [is] the hand <03027> that is stretched out <05186> (8803) upon all the nations <01471>_.
27For the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289> (8804)_, and who shall disannul <06565> (8686) [it]? and his hand <03027> [is] stretched out <05186> (8803)_, and who shall turn it back <07725> (8686)_?
28In the year <08141> that king <04428> Ahaz <0271> died <04194> was this burden <04853>_.
29Rejoice <08055> (8799) not thou, whole Palestina <06429>_, because the rod <07626> of him that smote <05221> (8688) thee is broken <07665> (8738)_: for out of the serpent's <05175> root <08328> shall come forth <03318> (8799) a cockatrice <06848>_, and his fruit <06529> [shall be] a fiery <08314> (0) flying <05774> (8789) serpent <08314>_. {cockatrice: or, adder}
30And the firstborn <01060> of the poor <01800> shall feed <07462> (8804)_, and the needy <034> shall lie down <07257> (8799) in safety <0983>_: and I will kill <04191> (8689) thy root <08328> with famine <07458>_, and he shall slay <02026> (8799) thy remnant <07611>_.
31Howl <03213> (8685)_, O gate <08179>_; cry <02199> (8798)_, O city <05892>_; thou, whole Palestina <06429>_, [art] dissolved <04127> (8738)_: for there shall come <0935> (8804) from the north <06828> a smoke <06227>_, and none [shall be] alone <0909> (8802) in his appointed times <04151>_. {none...: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed...: or, assemblies}
32What shall [one] then answer <06030> (8799) the messengers <04397> of the nation <01471>_? That the LORD <03068> hath founded <03245> (8765) Zion <06726>_, and the poor <06041> of his people <05971> shall trust <02620> (8799) in it. {trust...: or, betake themselves unto it}
