Isaiah 14:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Which smote the people in anger with a continual plague, and ruled the nations in wrath: if any were persecuted, he did [a]not let.
7 The whole world is at [b]rest and is quiet: they sing for joy.
8 Also the fir trees rejoiced of thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no hewer came up against us.

6 which in anger struck down peoples(A)
with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued(B) nations
with relentless aggression.(C)
