Isaiah 14:29-31

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁹ “Do not rejoice, O ^(A)Philistia, all of you,
Because the rod that ^(B)struck you is broken;
For from the serpent’s root a ^(C)viper will come out,
And its fruit will be a ^(D)flying serpent.
³⁰ “^[a]Those who are most ^(E)helpless will eat,
And the needy will lie down in security;
I will ^[b]destroy your root with ^(F)famine,
And it will kill off your survivors.
³¹ “Wail, O ^(G)gate; cry, O city;
^[c]Melt away, O ^(H)Philistia, all of you;
For smoke comes from the ^(I)north,
And ^(J)there is no straggler in his ranks.
