Isaiah 14:8-10
International Standard Version
8 Even the cypresses rejoice over you,
as do[a] the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Now that you’ve been laid low,
no woodcutter comes up against us.’[b]
9 “The afterlife[c] below is all astir
to meet you when you arrive;[d]
it rouses up the spirits of the dead to greet you—
everyone who used to be world leaders.
It has raised up from their thrones
all who used to be kings of the nations.
10 In answer, all of them[e] will tell you,
‘You’ve also become as weak as we are!
You have become just like us!’
