Isaiah 14:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Even the cypresses rejoice over you,
    the cedars of Lebanon:
    “Since you were laid low,
        no logger comes up against us!”

⁹ The underworld^[a] beneath becomes restless to greet your arrival.
It awakens the ghosts,
    all the leaders of earth;
it makes the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
¹⁰ All of them speak and say to you:
    “Even you’ve become weak like we are!
    You are the same as us!”
