1 God shows God’s love to Jacob. He picks Israel again. He brings them home. New friends will live with them. ❤️ 2 People from many lands will carry Israel home. Israel will have helpers. The mean ones will not boss them now. Israel will be the boss over the mean ones. 3 God will give you rest from pain, fear, and hard work. 4 You will sing a song to the king of Babylon: The mean boss stopped. His mad power is done. 5 God broke the stick of the bad king. His power stick is broken. 6 He hit people again and again. He ruled in mad anger. Now he is stopped. ⛔️ 7 All the world is quiet now. People sing. 8 Big trees are happy too. Cedars in Lebanon say, No one comes to cut us now. 9 The dark grave wakes up to meet you. The dead kings stand and look at you. ⚰️ 10 They say, You are weak like us now. ️ 11 Your pride is down in the grave. Your music stops. Bugs are your bed. Worms cover you. ⬇️ 12 You were a bright star in the sky. Now you fell down. You hurt many lands, but now you are cut down. ⭐️⬇️✂️ 13 You said, I will go up to the sky. I will sit high like a king. ⬆️☁️ 14 You said, I will be like God, up above the clouds. ☁️⬆️ 15 But you go down to the deep pit. ⬇️️ 16 People stare at you and think, Is this the man who made the earth shake? 17 You made the world like a dry place. You broke towns. You did not let people in jail go home. ️️ 18 All other kings sleep in their own graves. ⚰️ 19 But you are thrown out. You lie with the dead who were killed. You are stepped on. ⚰️️ 20 You will not be buried like them. You hurt your land and your people. Your kids will not be called great. ⚰️️⭐️ 21 Stop his sons, so they do not rise and take the land or build bad towns again. ✋️ 22 God says, I will stand up against them. I will end the name and family of Babylon. ✋️⛔️ 23 I will make the city empty and wet. Animals will live there. I will sweep it away like with a broom. ️️ 24 God says, What I plan will happen. It will stand. ✍️✅ 25 I will stop Assyria in My land. I will take the heavy load off My people. ⛰️⛓️❌ 26 This is My plan for all the world. My hand is over all lands. ️ 27 No one can stop what God plans. No one can push back His hand. ✋ 28 This word came when King Ahaz died. ⚰️ 29 Do not be happy, Philistia. The big stick that hit you broke, but a worse snake will come. 30 The poor will have food and rest. But your root will have no food and will die. 31 Cry, city gates of Philistia. Smoke comes from the north. The army is strong and sure. ️⬆️️ 32 If people ask, say this: God made Zion strong. His poor people will be safe there. ️️
