Isaiah 14:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ All the earth rests quietly,
    then it breaks into song.
⁸ Even the cypresses rejoice over you,
    the cedars of Lebanon:
    “Since you were laid low,
        no logger comes up against us!”

⁹ The underworld^[a] beneath becomes restless to greet your arrival.
It awakens the ghosts,
    all the leaders of earth;
it makes the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
