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 show tender love toward Jacob's people. Once again he will choose Israel. He'll settle them in their own land. Outsiders will join them. They and the people of Jacob will become one people.

2 Nations will help Israel return to their own land. People from other nations will belong to Israel. They will serve them as male and female servants in the LORD's land. The Israelites will make prisoners of those who had held them as prisoners. They will rule over those who had crushed them.

3 The LORD will put an end to Israel's suffering and trouble. They won't be slaves anymore.

4 They will make fun of the king of Babylonia. They will say, "See how the one who crushed others has fallen! See how his anger has come to an end!

5 The LORD has taken away the authority of evil people. He has broken the power of rulers.
