Chapter 14.

00:02.600 --> 00:08.120
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob,
and will yet choose Israel, and set them

00:08.120 --> 00:09.100
in their own land.

00:09.480 --> 00:13.800
And the strangers shall be joined with
them, and they shall cleave to the house

00:13.800 --> 00:14.280
of Jacob.

00:14.700 --> 00:18.140
And the people shall take them,
and bring them to their place.

00:18.480 --> 00:23.180
And the house of Israel shall possess them
in the land of the Lord, for servants and

00:23.180 --> 00:23.820
handmaids.

00:24.220 --> 00:27.480
And they shall take them captives,
whose captives they were.

00:27.480 --> 00:30.220
And they shall rule over their oppressors.

00:30.820 --> 00:35.640
And it shall come to pass in the day,
that the Lord shall give thee rest from

00:35.640 --> 00:40.180
thy sorrow, and from thy fear,
and from the hard bondage wherein thou

00:40.180 --> 00:41.180
wast made to serve.

00:41.680 --> 00:45.660
That thou shalt take up this proverb
against the king of Babylon, and say,

00:46.560 --> 00:48.000
How hath the oppressor ceased?

00:48.300 --> 00:49.820
The golden city ceased.

00:50.240 --> 00:54.300
The Lord hath broken the staff of the
wicked, and the scepter of the rulers.

00:54.300 --> 00:59.280
He who smote the people in wrath with a
continual stroke, he that ruled the

00:59.280 --> 01:03.020
nations in anger, is persecuted,
and none hindereth.

01:03.560 --> 01:05.940
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet.

01:06.620 --> 01:10.720
They break forth into singing,
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee,

01:11.140 --> 01:16.420
and the cedars of Lebanon saying,
Since thou art laid down, no feller is

01:16.420 --> 01:17.460
come up against us.

01:18.060 --> 01:21.000
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to
meet thee at thy coming.

01:21.580 --> 01:25.440
It stirreth up the dead for thee,
even all the chief ones of the earth.

01:25.900 --> 01:29.400
It hath raised up from their thrones all
the kings of the nations.

01:30.280 --> 01:35.100
All they shall speak and say unto thee,
Art thou also become weak as we?

01:35.880 --> 01:37.660
Art thou become like unto us?

01:38.600 --> 01:42.940
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave,
and the noise of thy vials.

01:43.280 --> 01:47.000
The worm is spread under thee,
and the worms cover thee.

01:48.100 --> 01:52.520
How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning?

01:53.020 --> 01:56.800
How art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations?

01:57.620 --> 02:01.320
For thou hast said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven.

02:01.740 --> 02:04.360
I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God.

02:04.700 --> 02:09.120
I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation in the sides of the north.

02:09.620 --> 02:11.740
I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds.

02:12.420 --> 02:14.340
I will be like the Most High.

02:15.380 --> 02:19.260
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.

02:19.260 --> 02:24.280
They that see thee shall narrowly look
upon thee, and consider thee, saying,

02:25.200 --> 02:29.600
Is this the man that made the earth to
tremble, that did shake kingdoms,

02:30.060 --> 02:33.900
that made the world as a wilderness,
and destroyed the cities thereof,

02:34.180 --> 02:36.420
that opened not the house of his
prisoners?

02:37.100 --> 02:43.000
All the kings of the nations, even all of
them, lie in glory, every one in his own

02:43.000 --> 02:43.380
house.

02:44.080 --> 02:47.480
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an
abominable branch.

02:47.480 --> 02:53.040
And as the raiment of those that are slain
thrust through with a sword that go down

02:53.040 --> 02:58.800
to the stones of the pit, as a carcass
trodden under feet, thou shalt not be

02:58.800 --> 03:03.620
joined with them in burial, because thou
hast destroyed thy land and slain thy

03:03.620 --> 03:04.000
people.

03:04.840 --> 03:07.300
The seed of evildoers shall never be
renowned.

03:08.320 --> 03:12.940
Prepare slaughter for his children for the
iniquity of their fathers, that they do

03:12.940 --> 03:16.960
not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with

03:16.960 --> 03:17.420
cities.

03:18.440 --> 03:24.800
For I will rise up against them,
saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from

03:24.800 --> 03:29.560
Babylon the name and remnant and son and
nephew, saith the Lord.

03:30.100 --> 03:35.360
I will also make it a possession for the
bittern and pools of water, and I will

03:35.360 --> 03:39.120
sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith the Lord of hosts.

03:39.660 --> 03:45.920
The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,
Surely, as I have thought, so shall it

03:45.920 --> 03:51.840
come to pass, and as I have purposed,
so shall it stand, that I will break the

03:51.840 --> 03:55.700
Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains
tread him under foot.

03:56.360 --> 04:00.940
Then shall his yoke depart from off them,
and his burden depart from off their

04:00.940 --> 04:01.340
shoulders.

04:02.280 --> 04:07.420
This is the purpose that is purposed upon
the whole earth, and this is the hand that

04:07.420 --> 04:09.200
is stretched out upon all the nations.

04:09.940 --> 04:14.220
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed it,
and who shall disannul it?

04:14.700 --> 04:18.240
And his hand is stretched out,
and who shall turn it back?

04:19.020 --> 04:22.240
In the year that King Ahaz died was this
burden.

04:23.020 --> 04:28.480
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina,
because the rod of him that smote thee is

04:28.480 --> 04:33.140
broken, or out of the serpent's root shall
come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit

04:33.140 --> 04:34.820
shall be a fiery flying serpent.

04:35.620 --> 04:40.340
And the firstborn of the poor shall feed,
and the needy shall lie down in safety,

04:40.340 --> 04:45.120
and I will kill thy root with famine,
and he shall slay thy remnant.

04:45.920 --> 04:46.840
Howl, O gate!

04:47.240 --> 04:48.060
cry, O city!

04:48.640 --> 04:51.200
Thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved.

04:52.140 --> 04:56.600
For there shall come from the north a
smoke, and none shall be alone in his

04:56.600 --> 04:57.580
appointed times.

04:58.280 --> 05:01.040
What shall one then answer the messengers
of the nation?

05:01.640 --> 05:06.000
That the Lord hath founded Zion,
and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
