^21 (A)Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
    you who dwell in ^(B)the land of Uz;
but to you also ^(C)the cup shall pass;
    you shall become drunk and strip yourself bare.

^22 (D)The punishment of your iniquity, O daughter of Zion, is accomplished;
    he will keep you in exile no longer;^[a]
but ^(E)your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he will punish;
    he will uncover your sins.

²⁵ “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,
declares the Lord,
    which destroys the whole earth;
I will stretch out my hand against you,
    and roll you down from the crags,
    ^(B)and make you a burnt mountain.
²⁶ No ^(C)stone shall be taken from you for a corner
    and no stone for a foundation,
but you shall be ^(D)a perpetual waste,
    declares the Lord.

“How the oppressor has ceased,
    ^(I)the insolent fury^[b] ceased!
⁵ The Lord has broken the ^(J)staff of the wicked,
    the ^(K)scepter of rulers,
^6 (L)that struck 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;
    ^(M)they break forth into singing.
^8 (N)(O)The cypresses rejoice at you,
    ^(P)the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low,
    no woodcutter comes up against us.’
⁹ Sheol beneath is stirred up
    to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
    all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
    all who were kings of the nations.
^10 (Q)All of them will answer
    and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
    You have become like us!’
¹¹ Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
    the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
    and worms are your covers.

¹² “How ^(R)you are fallen from heaven,
    O Day Star, ^(S)son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
    you who laid the nations low!
¹³ You said in your heart,
    ^(T)‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
    ^(U)I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
    in the far reaches of the north;^[c]
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.’
^15 (V)But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the far reaches of the pit.
¹⁶ Those who see you will stare at you
    and ponder over you:
‘Is this ^(W)the man who made the earth tremble,
    who shook kingdoms,
¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
    and overthrew its cities,
    ^(X)who did not let his prisoners go home?’
¹⁸ All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
    each in his own tomb;^[d]
19 but you are cast out, away from your grave,
    like a loathed branch,
^(Y)clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
    who go down to the stones of the pit,
    like a dead body trampled underfoot.
²⁰ You will not be joined with them in burial,
    because you have destroyed your land,
    you have slain your people.

“May ^(Z)the offspring of evildoers
    nevermore be named!
²¹ Prepare slaughter for his sons
    ^(AA)because of the guilt of their fathers,
lest they rise and possess the earth,
    and fill the face of the world with cities.”

²⁶ This is the purpose that is purposed
    concerning the whole earth,
and this is ^(AI)the hand that is stretched out
    over all the nations.
^27 (AJ)For the Lord of hosts has purposed,
    and who will annul it?
^(AK)His hand is stretched out,
    and who will turn it back?
