28. This message came to me the year King Ahaz died:

29. Do not rejoice, you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken — that the king who attacked you is dead. For from that snake a more poisonous snake will be born, a fiery serpent to destroy you!
30. I will feed the poor in my pasture; the needy will lie down in peace. But as for you, I will wipe you out with famine and destroy the few who remain.
31. Wail at the gates! Weep in the cities! Melt with fear, you Philistines! A powerful army comes like smoke from the north. Each soldier rushes forward eager to fight.

32. What should we tell the Philistine messengers? Tell them,
"The LORD has built Jerusalem; its walls will give refuge to his oppressed people."
Isaiah 14:28-32 NLT
