Compassion on Jacob
Because the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and choose Israel again, and settle them on their own land. Foreigners will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. The peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the people of Israel will take possession of them in the LORD's land as male and female servants. They'll take their captors captive and rule over those who oppressed them. And on the day the LORD gives you rest from your pain and your turmoil and the hard service you were made to do,

The peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will take possession of them in the Lord's land as male and female servants. They'll take their captors captive and rule over the ones who oppressed them. And on the day the Lord gives you rest from your pain and your turmoil and the hard service you were made to do,
For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

The taunt against Babylon's king
You'll take up this proverb against the king of Babylon and say, ‘How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!’ The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked and the royal staff of the rulers, He who struck the peoples in fury with a continual stroke, and ruled the nations in anger, is now persecuted, and no one hinders it. The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break out into singing. Even the fir trees are pleased about you, and the cedars of Lebanon: Now that you're lying down, nobody comes up to cut us. Hell beneath is stirred up to meet you at your coming. It wakes the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth; it raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones. They'll all speak and say to you, ‘Have you also become weak like us? Have you become like us?’ Your pomp is brought down to the grave, along with the sound of your viols. The worm is spread under you, and worms cover you. How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will also sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.’ ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you will be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Those who see you will look closely at you and consider you, saying, ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble and shook kingdoms?’ ‘Who made the world like a wilderness, destroyed its cities, and would not open the house of his prisoners?’ All the kings of the nations, every one of them, lie in state, each in his own house. But you've been thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, covered with bodies of people run through by the sword and thrown down among the stones of the pit — like a corpse trampled underfoot. You won't be joined with them in burial, because you destroyed your land and killed your own people. The offspring of wrongdoers will never be named again. Get ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers, so they don't rise up and take the earth and fill the face of the world with cities. I'll rise up against them, declares the LORD Almighty. I'll cut off from Babylon the name and the survivors, the offspring and the descendants, declares the LORD. I’ll also make it a place for bitterns and pools of water. I’ll sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the LORD Almighty.
you'll take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has stopped. How the raging has stopped. The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked and the sceptre of the rulers, who struck the peoples in fury with blows that never let up, who ruled the nations in anger with a hounding nobody could hold back. The whole earth is at rest and quiet. They break out singing. Even the junipers are pleased about you, and the cedars of Lebanon: Now that you're lying down, nobody comes up to cut us. The grave below is stirring itself to meet you when you come. It's waking the dead for you, all the leaders of the earth. It's making all the kings of the nations get up off their thrones. They'll all speak up and say to you: So you've been made weak like us. You've come out the same as we did. Your splendour has been brought down to the grave, and the noise of your harps. Maggots are your bed, and worms are your blanket. How you've fallen from the sky, morning star, son of the dawn. You've been cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low. You said in your heart: I'll go up to the heavens. I'll set my throne above the stars of God. I'll sit on the mountain where the gods assemble, on the far heights of the north. I'll go up above the tops of the clouds. I'll make myself like the Most High. But you're brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you will stare at you and think it over: Is this the man who made the earth shake and the kingdoms tremble, who turned the world into a desert and pulled down its cities, who never let his prisoners go home? All the kings of the nations, every one of them, lie in state, each in his own house. But you've been thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, covered over with the killed, with those run through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit — like a corpse trodden underfoot. You won't be joined with them in burial, because you wrecked your land and killed your own people. The offspring of wrongdoers will never be named again. Get ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers, so they don't rise up and take the earth and fill the face of the world with towns. I'll rise up against them, declares the Lord Almighty. I'll cut off from Babylon the name and the remnant, the offspring and the descendants, declares the Lord. I'll make it a place for hedgehogs and pools of water. I'll sweep it with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

who turned the world into a desert and pulled down its cities, who never let his prisoners go home?
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, every one of them, lie in state, each in his own house.
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
But you've been thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, covered with bodies of people run through by the sword and thrown down among the stones of the pit — like a corpse trampled underfoot.

Assyria and Philistia
The LORD Almighty has sworn, saying, ‘Surely as I have thought, so it will come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it will stand.’ That I'll break the Assyrian in my land and trample him on my mountains. Then his yoke will come off them and his load off their shoulders. This is the plan decided for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations. For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can disannul it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? In the year King Ahaz died, this word came: Don't rejoice, whole Palestina, because the rod that struck you is broken. Out of the serpent's root will come a viper, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent. The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety. But I will kill your root with famine, and he will kill your survivors. Wail, gate. Cry out, city. Melt away, all Palestina. Because smoke is coming from the north, and there's not a straggler in the ranks. What answer will be given to the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of his people will trust in it.
The Lord Almighty has sworn: As I've planned it, so it'll be, and as I've decided, so it'll stand — that I'll break the Assyrian in my land and trample him on my mountains. Then his yoke will come off them and his load off their shoulders. This is the plan decided for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations. Because the Lord Almighty has planned it, and who's going to stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who's going to turn it back? In the year King Ahaz died, this word came: Don't celebrate, all you Philistines, because the rod that struck you is broken. Out of the snake's root comes an adder, and its fruit is a flying serpent. The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down safe. But I'll kill your root with famine, and it'll finish off what's left of you. Wail, gate. Cry out, city. Melt away, all Philistia. Because smoke is coming from the north, and there's not a straggler in the ranks. What answer do you give the messengers of the nation? That the Lord founded Zion, and the afflicted of his people will take shelter in her.
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: That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 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. 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. What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
