Isaiah 14:30-32

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁰But even the poorest of my people will be able to eat safely. And their children will be able to lie down and feel safe. But I will make your family die from hunger, and your enemy will kill anyone who survives.

³¹People near the city gates, cry!
People in the city, cry out!
Everyone in Philistia,
your courage will melt like hot wax.

Look to the north!
    There is a cloud of dust.
An army is coming,
    and everyone in that army is strong.^[a]
³²But what will the messengers from that nation report about us?
    They will say, “The Lord made Zion strong,
    and his poor people went there for safety.”
