4 - to lift this proverb against the sovereign of Babel, and say, How the exactor shabbathizes! The extortioners of gold shabbathize!
5 Yah Veh breaks the rod of the wicked - the scion of the sovereigns:
6 he who smote the people in wrath with a stroke without revolt, who subjugates the goyim in wrath persecutes; spares no one.
7 At rest - the whole earth rests; they break forth into shouting:
8 Yes, the fir trees cheer at you - the cedars of Lebanon. Since you lay down, no cutter ascends against us:
9 sheol from beneath quakes for you to meet you at your coming: it wakens the ghost for you all the he goats of the earth; it raises from their thrones all the sovereigns of the goyim.
10 They all answer and say to you, Become you also worn as we? Become you like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to sheol with the sound of your bagpipes: the maggot spreads under you and the maggots cover you.

THE HALALED ONE
How you fell from the heavens, O Halaled one, son of the dawn - cut down to the earth: who vanquished the goyim! 13 For you said in your heart, I ascend into the heavens: I exalt my throne above the stars of El: and I sit upon the mount of the congregation in the flanks of the north: 14 I ascend above the bamahs of the thick clouds - like Elyon. 15 Surely you are brought down to sheol - to the flanks of the well. 16 They who see you peer at you, discerning, Is this the man who quakes the earth? Who quakes sovereigndoms? 17 Who sets the world as a wilderness? And demolishes the cities? Who opens not the house of his bound?
