Isaiah 14:4-10

4you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon and say: “How the taskmaster has ceased! The raging oppressor, exacter of gold, has ceased!

5Adonai has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

6which struck the people in wrath with continual strokes, which ruled the nations in fury, with relentless persecution.

7The whole earth is at rest, and quiet. They break forth with a ringing cry!

8Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, along with the cedars of Lebanon: “Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.”

9Sheol from below is excited about you, to meet you at your coming! He stirs up the dead spirits for you, even the chief ones of the earth. He makes all the kings of the nations rise up from their thrones.

10They all answer and say to you: “Even you have become as weak as us? Have you become like us?
