Isaiah 14:24-32 (6th Hour)
- 24
- The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand:
- 25
- That I will break the Assyrian in My land, and on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, and his burden removed from their shoulders.
- 26
- This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
- 27
- For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?”
- 28
- This is the burden which came in the year that King Ahaz died.
- 29
- “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper, and its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
- 30
- The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety; I will kill your roots with famine, and it will slay your remnant.
- 31
- Wail, O gate! Cry, O city! All you of Philistia are dissolved; for smoke will come from the north, and no one will be alone in his appointed times.”
- 32
- What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.
