Rotherham(i)
28 In the year that King Ahaz died, came this oracle:––
29 Do not rejoice, Philistia, any of thee, In that the rod of him that smote thee, is broken,––For, out of the root of the serpent, shall come forth, a viper, And his fruit be a fiery dragon that flieth.
30 Then shall feed, the firstborn of the poor, And, the needy, in confidence, lie down,––And I will kill with famine thy root, And, thy residue, shall be slain.
31 Howl––O gate, Make outcry––O city, Dispersed art thou, Philistia, all of thee,––For, out of the north, a smoke cometh in, With no, straggler in his ranks.
32 What, then, shall one answer the messengers of a nation? That, Yahweh, hath founded Zion, And, in her, shall seek refuge, the oppressed of his people.
