Isaiah 14:29-31
Living Bible
29 Don’t rejoice, Philistines, that the king who smote you is dead.[a] That rod is broken, yes; but his son will be a greater scourge to you than his father ever was! From the snake will be born an adder, a fiery serpent to destroy you! 30 I will shepherd the poor of my people; they shall graze in my pasture! The needy shall lie down in peace. But as for you—I will wipe you out with famine and the sword. 31 Weep, Philistine cities—you are doomed. All your nation is doomed. For a perfectly trained army[b] is coming down from the north against you.

New International Version
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(A)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(B)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(C)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(D) will lie down in safety.(E)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(F)
it will slay(G) your survivors.(H)
