Isaiah 14:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴you will sing this song of contempt about the king of Babylon^(A) and say:

How the oppressor has quietened down,
and how the raging^[a] has become quiet!
⁵The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
the sceptre of the rulers.
⁶It struck the peoples in anger
with unceasing blows.
It subdued the nations in rage
with relentless persecution.
