Isaiah 14:2-4
New Century Version
2 Nations will take the Israelites back to their land. Then those men and women from the other nations will become slaves to Israel in the Lord’s land. In the past the Israelites were their slaves, but now the Israelites will defeat those nations and rule over them.
The King of Babylon Will Fall
3 The Lord will take away the Israelites’ hard work and will comfort them. They will no longer have to work hard as slaves. 4 On that day Israel will sing this song about the king of Babylon:
The cruel king who ruled us is finished;
his angry rule is finished!
Isaiah 14:2-4
New International Version
2 Nations will take them
and bring(A) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(B)
and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(C) of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.(D)
3 On the day the Lord gives you relief(E) from your suffering and turmoil(F) and from the harsh labor forced on you,(G) 4 you will take up this taunt(H) against the king of Babylon:(I)

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
