Isaiah 14:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
    the sceptre of rulers,
⁶ that struck down the peoples in wrath
    with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
    with unrelenting persecution.
⁷ The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
    they break forth into singing.
