Isaiah 14:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath ceased?

⁵ The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,

⁶ That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
