For the LORD
will have mercy
on Jacob,
and will yet choose
Israel,
and set
them in their own land:
and the strangers
shall be joined
with them, and they shall cleave
to the house
of Jacob.

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.

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,
That thou shalt take up
this proverb
against the king
of Babylon,
and say,
How hath the oppressor
ceased!
the golden city
ceased!

The LORD
hath broken
the staff
of the wicked,
and the sceptre
of the rulers.
He who smote
the people
in wrath
with a continual
stroke,
he that ruled
the nations
in anger,
is persecuted,
and none
hindereth.
The whole earth
is at rest,
and is quiet:
they break forth
into singing.
Yea, the fir trees
rejoice
at thee, and the cedars
of Lebanon,
saying, Since thou art laid down,
no feller
is come up
against us.
Hell
from beneath is moved
for thee to meet
thee at thy coming:
it stirreth up
the dead
for thee, even all the chief ones
of the earth;
it hath raised up
from their thrones
all the kings
of the nations.

All they shall speak

thee.

How art thou fallen
from heaven,
O Lucifer,
son
of the morning!
how art thou cut down
to the ground,
which didst weaken
the nations!
For thou hast said
in thine heart,
I will ascend
into heaven,
I will exalt
my throne
above
the stars
of God:
I will sit
also upon the mount
of the congregation,
in the sides
of the north:
say
I will ascend
above the heights
of the clouds;
I will be like
the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down
to hell,
to the sides
of the pit.
They that see
thee shall narrowly look
upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man
that made the earth
to tremble,
that did shake
kingdoms;
That made
the world
as a wilderness,
and destroyed
the cities
thereof; that opened
not the house
of his prisoners?
All the kings
of the nations,
even all of them, lie
in glory,
every one
in his own house.
But thou art cast out
of thy grave
like an abominable
branch,
and as the raiment
of those that are slain,
thrust through
with a sword,
that go down
to the stones
of the pit;
as a carcase
trodden under feet.

Thou shalt not be joined
with them in burial,
because thou hast destroyed
thy land,
and slain
thy people:
the seed
of evildoers
shall never
be renowned.
Prepare
slaughter
for his children
for the iniquity
of their fathers;
that they do not
rise,
nor possess
the land,
nor fill
the face
of the world
with cities.
For I will rise up
against them, saith
the LORD
of hosts,
and cut off
from Babylon
the name,
and remnant,
and son,
and nephew,
saith
the LORD.
I will also make
it a possession
for the bittern,
and pools
of water:
and I will sweep
it with the besom
of destruction,
saith
the LORD
of hosts.
The LORD
of hosts
hath sworn,
saying,
Surely as I have thought,
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed,
so shall it stand:
That I will break
the Assyrian
in my land,
and upon my mountains
tread him under foot:
then shall his yoke
depart
from off them, and his burden
depart
from off their shoulders.

This is the purpose
that is purposed
upon the whole earth:
and this is the hand
that is stretched out
upon all the nations.
For the LORD
of hosts
hath purposed,
and who shall disannul
it? and his hand
is stretched out,
and who shall turn it back?
In the year
that king
Ahaz
died
was this burden.
Rejoice
not thou, whole Palestina,
because the rod
of him that smote
thee is broken:
for out of the serpent's
root
shall come forth
a cockatrice,
and his fruit
shall be a fiery
flying
serpent.
And the firstborn
of the poor
shall feed,
and the needy
shall lie down
in safety:
and I will kill
thy root
with famine,
and he shall slay
thy remnant.
Howl,
O gate;
cry,
O city;
thou, whole Palestina,
art dissolved:
for there shall come
from the north
a smoke,
and none shall be alone
in his appointed times.
What shall one then answer
the messengers
of the nation?
That the LORD
hath founded
Zion,
and the poor
of his people
shall trust
in it.
