Isaiah 14:8-10
New International Version
8 Even the junipers(A) and the cedars of Lebanon
gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
no one comes to cut us down.”(B)
9 The realm of the dead(C) below is all astir
to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed(D) to greet you—
all those who were leaders(E) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
all those who were kings over the nations.(F)
10 They will all respond,
they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(G)
