Isaiah 14:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ that struck down the peoples in wrath
    with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
    with unrelenting persecution.
⁷ The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
    they break forth into singing.
⁸ The cypresses exult over you,
    the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low,
    no one comes to cut us down.’
