Isaiah 14:4-10

4you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: "How the oppressor has ceased, the insolent fury ceased!

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

6that struck the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution.

7The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.

8The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.'

9Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.

10All of them will answer and say to you: 'You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!'
