28 This is the 9burden which came in the year that dKing Ahaz died.
29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
eBecause the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
fAnd its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will feed,
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his 1appointed times.”
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation?
That gthe Lord has founded Zion,
And hthe poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
