Isaiah 14:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷The entire earth is at rest and peace;
    its inhabitants^[a] break into song.
⁸Even the cypresses rejoice over you,
    as do^[b] the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Now that you’ve been laid low,
    no woodcutter comes up against us.’^[c]

⁹“The afterlife^[d] below is all astir
    to meet you when you arrive;^[e]
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.
