4That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;
5The stick of the evil-doers, the rod of the rulers, is broken by the Lord;
6He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.
7All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.
8Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.
9The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats.
10They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?
