Isaiah 14:8-10
New Catholic Bible
Isaiah 14:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 The cypresses exult over you,
as do the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
“Now that you have been laid low,
no one approaches to cut us down.”[a]
9 The netherworld below is all astir
to greet you upon your arrival.
To welcome you it aroused the departed spirits,
all the rulers of the earth.
It raised from their thrones
all those who were kings of the nations.
10 All of them will speak out
and greet you with these words,
“You too have become as weak as we are.
You have become like us.”

they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(G)
