Isaiah 14:4-7
<< Isaiah 13 | Isaiah 14 | Isaiah 15 >>
4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:
“How the oppressor has ceased,
the insolent fury [1] ceased!
5 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
the scepter of rulers,
6 that struck the peoples in wrath
with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrelenting persecution.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
they break forth into singing.
