Isaiah 14:7
Verse 7 of 32. The 14th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.
3It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
5The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
8Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
9Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.
