Isaiah 14:4-10

4that you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased [his insolence], And how the fury has ceased!

5The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of the [tyrant] rulers

6Which used to strike the peoples in anger with incessant blows, Which subdued and ruled the nations in wrath with unrelenting persecution.

7The whole earth is at rest and is quiet; They break into shouts of joy.

8Even the cypress trees rejoice over you [kings of Babylon], even the cedars of Lebanon, saying, ‘Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.’

9Sheol below is excited about you to meet you when you come [you tyrant of Babylon]; It stirs up the spirits of the dead [to greet you], all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones [in astonishment at your fall].

10All of them will respond [tauntingly] and say to you, ‘You have become as weak as we are. You have become like us.
