Isaiah 14:5-7
New English Translation

5 The Lord has broken the club of the wicked,
the scepter of rulers.
6 It[a] furiously struck down nations
with unceasing blows.[b]
It angrily ruled over nations,
oppressing them without restraint.[c]
7 The whole earth rests and is quiet;
they break into song.
