Context of Isaiah 14:7
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. The 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.
