Isaiah 14:29-31
Lexham English Bible
29 You must not rejoice, all you Philistines,
that the rod that struck you is broken,
for a viper will come forth from the root of the snake,
and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
30 And the firstborn of the poor will graze,
and the needy will lie down in security;
but I will cause your root to die in famine,
and it will kill your remnant.
31 Wail, gate! Cry, city!
Melt,[a] Philistia, all of you!
For smoke is coming from the north,
and there is no straggler in his ranks.

And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,

For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his [a]appointed times.”
