Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

(A)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you [a]were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’

“Hell(B)[b] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall (C)speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
