Israel will be gathered and will enjoy millennial rest—Lucifer was cast out of heaven for rebellion—Israel will triumph over Babylon (the world)—Compare Isaiah 14. About 559–545 B.C.
a
For
the
Lord
will
have
mercy
on
Jacob,
and
will
yet
b
choose
Israel,
and
set
them
in
their
own
land;
and
the
c
strangers
shall
be
joined
with
them,
and
they
shall
cleave
to
the
house
of
Jacob.
2 And
the
people
shall
take
them
and
bring
them
to
their
place;
yea,
from
far
unto
the
ends
of
the
earth;
and
they
shall
return
to
their
a
lands
of
promise.
And
the
house
of
Israel
shall
b
possess
them,
and
the
land
of
the
Lord
shall
be
for
c
servants
and
handmaids;
and
they
shall
take
them
captives
unto
whom
they
were
captives;
and
they
shall
d
rule
over
their
oppressors.
3 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day
that
the
Lord
shall
give
thee
a
rest,
from
thy
sorrow,
and
from
thy
fear,
and
from
the
hard
bondage
wherein
thou
wast
made
to
serve.
4 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
thou
shalt
take
up
this
proverb
a
against
the
king
of
b
Babylon,
and
say:
How
hath
the
oppressor
ceased,
the
golden
city
ceased!
5 The
Lord
hath
broken
the
staff
of
the
a
wicked,
the
scepters
of
the
rulers.
6
a
He
who
smote
the
people
in
wrath
with
a
continual
stroke,
he
that
ruled
the
nations
in
anger,
is
persecuted,
and
none
hindereth.
7 The
whole
earth
is
at
a
rest,
and
is
quiet;
they
break
forth
into
b
singing.
8 Yea,
the
fir
trees
rejoice
at
thee,
and
also
the
cedars
of
Lebanon,
saying:
Since
thou
art
laid
down
no
feller
is
come
up
against
us.
9
a
Hell
from
beneath
is
moved
for
thee
to
meet
thee
at
thy
coming;
it
stirreth
up
the
b
dead
for
thee,
even
all
the
chief
ones
of
the
earth;
it
hath
raised
up
from
their
thrones
all
the
kings
of
the
nations.
10 All
they
shall
speak
and
say
unto
thee:
Art
thou
also
become
weak
as
we?
Art
thou
become
like
unto
us?
11 Thy
pomp
is
brought
down
to
the
grave;
the
noise
of
thy
viols
is
not
heard;
the
worm
is
spread
under
thee,
and
the
worms
cover
thee.
12
a
How
art
thou
fallen
from
heaven,
O
b
Lucifer,
son
of
the
morning!
Art
thou
cut
down
to
the
ground,
which
did
weaken
the
nations!
13 For
thou
hast
said
in
thy
heart:
a
I
will
ascend
into
heaven,
I
will
exalt
my
throne
above
the
stars
of
God;
I
will
sit
also
upon
the
mount
of
the
congregation,
in
the
sides
of
the
north;
14
a
I
will
ascend
above
the
heights
of
the
clouds;
I
will
be
like
the
Most
High.
15 Yet
thou
shalt
be
brought
down
to
hell,
to
the
sides
of
the
a
pit.
16 They
that
see
thee
shall
narrowly
look
upon
thee,
and
shall
consider
thee,
and
shall
say:
Is
this
the
man
that
made
the
earth
to
tremble,
that
did
shake
kingdoms?
17 And
made
the
world
as
a
wilderness,
and
destroyed
the
cities
thereof,
and
opened
not
the
house
of
his
prisoners?
18 All
the
kings
of
the
nations,
yea,
all
of
them,
lie
in
glory,
every
one
of
them
in
his
own
house.
19 But
thou
art
cast
out
of
thy
grave
like
an
abominable
branch,
and
the
remnant
of
those
that
are
slain,
thrust
through
with
a
sword,
that
go
down
to
the
stones
of
the
pit;
as
a
carcass
trodden
under
feet.
20 Thou
shalt
not
be
joined
with
them
in
burial,
because
thou
hast
destroyed
thy
land
and
slain
thy
people;
the
a
seed
of
b
evil-doers
shall
never
be
renowned.
21 Prepare
slaughter
for
his
children
for
the
a
iniquities
of
their
fathers,
that
they
do
not
rise,
nor
possess
the
land,
nor
fill
the
face
of
the
world
with
cities.
22 For
I
will
rise
up
against
them,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts,
and
cut
off
from
Babylon
the
a
name,
and
remnant,
and
son,
and
b
nephew,
saith
the
Lord.
23 I
will
also
make
it
a
a
possession
for
the
bittern,
and
pools
of
water;
and
I
will
sweep
it
with
the
besom
of
destruction,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts.
24 The
Lord
of
Hosts
hath
sworn,
saying:
Surely
as
I
have
thought,
so
shall
it
come
to
pass;
and
as
I
have
purposed,
so
shall
it
stand—
25 That
I
will
bring
the
Assyrian
in
my
land,
and
upon
my
mountains
tread
him
under
foot;
then
shall
his
a
yoke
depart
from
off
them,
and
his
burden
depart
from
off
their
shoulders.
26 This
is
the
purpose
that
is
purposed
upon
the
whole
earth;
and
this
is
the
hand
that
is
stretched
out
upon
all
nations.
27 For
the
Lord
of
Hosts
hath
purposed,
and
who
shall
disannul?
And
his
hand
is
stretched
out,
and
who
shall
turn
it
back?
28 In
the
year
that
king
a
Ahaz
died
was
this
burden.
29 Rejoice
not
thou,
whole
Palestina,
because
the
rod
of
him
that
a
smote
thee
is
broken;
for
out
of
the
serpent's
root
shall
come
forth
a
cockatrice,
and
his
b
fruit
shall
be
a
c
fiery
flying
serpent.
30 And
the
firstborn
of
the
poor
shall
feed,
and
the
needy
shall
lie
down
in
safety;
and
I
will
kill
thy
root
with
famine,
and
he
shall
slay
thy
remnant.
31 Howl,
O
gate;
cry,
O
city;
thou,
whole
Palestina,
art
dissolved;
for
there
shall
come
from
the
north
a
smoke,
and
none
shall
be
alone
in
his
appointed
times.
32 What
shall
then
answer
the
messengers
of
the
nations?
That
the
Lord
hath
founded
a
Zion,
and
the
b
poor
of
his
people
shall
trust
in
it.
