Isaiah 14:2-6
New American Standard Bible
2 The peoples will take them along and bring them to their place, and the (A)house of Israel will make them their own possession in the land of the Lord (B)as male and female servants; and [a]they will take their captors captive and will rule over their oppressors.
3 And it will be on the day when the Lord gives you (C)rest from your hardship, your turmoil, and from the harsh service in which you have been enslaved, 4 that you will (D)take up this [b]taunt against the king of Babylon, and say,
“How (E)the oppressor has ceased,
And how the [c]onslaught has ceased!
5 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of rulers,
6 (F)Which used to strike the peoples in fury with unceasing strokes,
Which [d]subdued the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.
