Isaiah 14:4-8

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.’
