Isaiah 14:4-11

⁴that you shall take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! ⁵Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers; ⁶who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained. ⁷The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing. ⁸Yes, the fir-trees rejoice at you, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you are laid low, no lumberjack is come up against us. ⁹Sheol from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. ¹⁰All they shall answer and tell you, Are you also become weak as we? are you become like us? ¹¹Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, [and] the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and worms cover you.
