Isaiah 14:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶that struck down peoples in anger
    with unceasing blows,
that oppressed nations in fury
    with relentless persecution.
⁷The entire earth is at rest and peace;
    its inhabitants^[a] break into song.
⁸Even the cypresses rejoice over you,
    as do^[b] the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Now that you’ve been laid low,
    no woodcutter comes up against us.’^[c]
