 The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 14

Prophecy Against the Philistines

28 In the year that King Ahaz died, this calamity arose.

29 Do not rejoice, all Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken. For from the snake's root a basilisk will come forth, and its offspring will be a fiery, flying serpent.

30 The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety. But I will famine your root, and your remnants will be destroyed.

31 Howl, O gate; cry out, O city, you, Philistia, you are all melted! For smoke comes from the north, and no one will be left alone at the appointed time.

32 What then will you answer the messengers of the people? The Lord has founded Zion, that the oppressed of his people may find refuge in it.
