Exegesis
The verse begins with the prohibitive particle al {אַל־ | ʾal-} ‘do not’ followed by the jussive verb tishmechi {תִּשְׂמְחִי | tišməḥî} ‘rejoice’, addressing feleshet {פְּלֶשֶׁת | pəlešeṯ} ‘Philistia’ and the collective kulekh {כֻּלֵּךְ | kulleḵ} ‘all of you’.
In context — Isaiah 14:29
Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, because the rod of your smiter is broken; for from the root of the serpent will come out a viper, and its offspring will be a flying fiery serpent.
