Isaiah 14:29-31

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ “Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you,
    that the rod which smote you is broken,
for from the serpent’s root will come forth an adder,
    and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
³⁰ And the first-born of the poor will feed,
    and the needy lie down in safety;
but I will kill your root with famine,
    and your remnant I^[a] will slay.
³¹ Wail, O gate; cry, O city;
    melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you!
For smoke comes out of the north,
    and there is no straggler in his ranks.”
