Isaiah 14:4-10

4that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: “How the oppressor has ceased, The golden city ceased!

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

6He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, He who ruled the nations in anger, Is persecuted and no one hinders.

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

8Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, And the cedars of Lebanon, Saying, ‘Since you were cut down, No woodsman has come up against us.’

9“Hell from beneath is excited about you, To meet you at your coming; It stirs up the dead for you, All the chief ones of the earth; It has raised up from their thrones All the kings of the nations.

10They all shall speak and say to you: ‘Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us?
