What to Do When All Seems Lost – Isaiah 14:28-32
14 (28) This oracle came in the year king Ahaz died. (29) Do not rejoice, O Philistia, over the fact that the rod that struck you is broken; because from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, and the viper’s offspring will be a darting, venomous serpent. (30) The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety. But I will destroy your root with famine, and your survivors will be slain. (31) Howl, O gate! Wail, O city! You are melted away, O Philistia—all of you, for a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there is not one straggler in his ranks. (32) What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? They shall declare that Jehovah has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.
