And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

The verse 30 is found in chapter 14 of Isaiah. The oracles against Assyria and Philistia broaden the lesson: God’s judgment is not limited to a single power. The divine purpose for the earth remains firm even as empires change. Zion appears as a place of refuge for the poor, contrasting with the insecurity of proud nations.

Denn die Erstlinge der Dürftigen werden weiden, und die Armen sicher ruhen; aber deine Wurzel will ich mit Hunger töten, und deine Übriggebliebenen wird er erwürgen.
Y los primogénitos de los pobres serán apacentados, y los menesterosos se acostarán seguramente: mas yo haré morir de hambre tu raíz, y mataré tus reliquias.
Los más pobres pastarán y los necesitados se acostarán seguros; pero haré morir de hambre tu raíz, y matará a los que queden de ti.
Alors les plus pauvres pourront paître, Et les malheureux reposer en sécurité; Mais je ferai mourir ta racine par la faim, Et ce qui restera de toi sera tué.
E i primogeniti de’ poveri pastureranno, e i bisognosi giaceranno in sicurtà; ma io farò morir di fame la tua radice, e colui ucciderà il tuo rimanente.
E os primogênitos dos pobres serão apascentados, e os necessitados se deitarão seguros; porém farei morrer de fome a tua raiz, e ele matará os teus sobreviventes.
貧寒人的長子必有得吃; 貧窮人必安然躺臥。 我必以饑荒滅絕你的根, 牠 必殺盡你所剩餘的人。
