Isaiah 14:3

Verse 3 of 32. The 14th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

1For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

2The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

4that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”

5The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

6who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.

7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
