Isaiah 14:3-11

Rotherham(i) 3 And it shall come to pass, in the day when Yahweh, shall give thee rest, from thy toil, and from thy disquiet,––and from the hard service which had been laid upon thee,
4 that thou shalt take up this taunt over the king of Babylon, and shalt say:––How, hath ceased, the oppressor! Ceased, the exactress! 5 Broke, hath Yahweh the staff of the lawless,––The sceptre of despots; 6 Smiting peoples in passion, With stroke unremitting,––Trampling, in anger, on nations, Persecution unhindered. 7 Quiet, at rest, the whole earth,––Men have burst into shouting! 8 Yea the pine–trees, make mirth at thee, Cedars of Lebanon, Since thou wast laid low, No feller hath come up against us! 9 Hades, beneath, is excited about thee, To meet thine arrival,––Rousing up, for thee, Shades, All the he–goats of earth! Maketh rise from their thrones, All the kings of the nations. 10 All of them, answer, and say to thee,––Thou too, made strengthless, as we! Unto us, art thou like! 11 Brought down to Hades, thy pride, The hum of thy harps, Beneath thee, is spread out corruption, And, thy coverlet––worms!
