Isaiah 14:4-10
-
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
-
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
-
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
-
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
-
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
-
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
-
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
