Read in context

Isaiah 14:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

28 In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.

30 Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.

31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
