Isaiah 14:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ The king of Babylon struck people in anger
    again and again.
He ruled nations in anger
    and continued to hurt them.
⁷ But now, the whole world rests and is quiet.
    Now the people begin to sing.
⁸ Even the pine trees are happy,
    and the cedar trees of Lebanon rejoice.
They say, “The king has fallen,
    so no one will ever cut us down again.”
