Isaiah 14:4-8

New International Version

How the oppressor^(C) has come to an end!
    How his fury^[a] has ended!
⁵ The Lord has broken the rod^(D) of the wicked,^(E)
    the scepter^(F) of the rulers,
⁶ which in anger struck down peoples^(G)
    with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued^(H) nations
    with relentless aggression.^(I)
7 All the lands are at rest and at peace;^(J)
    they break into singing.^(K)
8 Even the junipers^(L) and the cedars of Lebanon
    gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
    no one comes to cut us down.”^(M)
