Isaiah 14:4-15 that thou shalt take up this taunt over the king of Babylon, and shalt say:––How, hath ceased, the oppressor! Ceased, the exactress!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ 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! ¹² How, hast thou fallen from heaven, O Shining One––Son of the Dawn! Hewn down to the earth, O crusher of nations! ¹³ Yet, thou, didst say in thy heart––The heavens, will I ascend, Above the stars of GOD, will I lift up my throne,––That I may sit in the Mount of Assembly, In the Recesses of the North: ¹⁴ I will mount on the hills of the clouds, I will match the Most High! ¹⁵ Howbeit, to Hades, shalt thou be brought down,––To the Recesses of the Pit!
