Isaiah 14:8-10
The Voice
8 The cypresses and cedars of Lebanon rejoice at his demise, singing:
“You can’t hurt us anymore. Now that you’ve been cut down,
No one comes to cut us down!”
9 O Babylon, the land of the dead is excited to greet you at its door.
Your king will enter the grave with ghastly pomp.
It stirs the shadows and spirits of the dead—all long forgotten leaders—
it arouses all the dethroned kings of the nations to welcome your arrival.
10 These departed souls will respond to you with rattling voices,
Departed Souls: Even you, who were so powerful and unstoppable in life,
have been weakened just like us!
