| Isaiah 14:29
| Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
| Rod. Achaz. --- Bird. Ezechias will openly attack thee, 4 Kings 18:8. (Calmet) --- Protestants, "shall be a fiery flying serpent," (Haydock) like that erected by Moses, Numbers 21:9. Sennacherib and Assaraddon shall lay waste Philistia, ver. 31., and Isaias 20:1. (Calmet) --- Though Achaz be dead, Ezechias and Ozias will destroy more of that nation, 4 Kings 18:8., and 2 Paralipomenon xxvi. (Worthington)
