Isaiah 14:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ But finally the earth is at rest and quiet.
    Now it can sing again!
⁸ Even the trees of the forest—
    the cypress trees and the cedars of Lebanon—
    sing out this joyous song:
‘Since you have been cut down,
    no one will come now to cut us down!’

⁹ “In the place of the dead^[a] there is excitement
    over your arrival.
The spirits of world leaders and mighty kings long dead
    stand up to see you.
