Isaiah 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:3

And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall
give thee rest from thy sorrow
In captivity, and on account of that, being out of their own land, deprived of the free exercise of their religion, and at a distance from the house of God, and continually hearing the reproaches and blaspheming of the enemy, and seeing their idolatrous practices, and their ungodly conversation; all which must create sorrow of heart to the sincere lovers and worshippers of God: and from thy fear;
of worse evils, most cruel usage, and death itself, under the terror of which they lived: and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve;
as before in Egypt, so now in Babylon; but what that was is not particularly expressed anywhere, as the former is, see ( Exodus 1:13 Exodus 1:14 ) and when they had rest from all this in their own land, then they should do as follows:

Isaiah 14:3 In-Context

1 The LORD will have compassion for Jacob and again choose Israel. He will resettle them in their own country. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob.

2 People will take them and bring them to their own place. The nation of Israel will possess nations as male and female slaves in the LORD's land. They will take their captors captive and rule their oppressors.

3 When that day comes, the LORD will give you relief from your pain and suffering, from the hard slavery you were forced to do.

4 Then you will mock the king of Babylon with this saying, "How the tyrant has come to an end! How his attacks have come to an end!"

5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers.
