3And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah`s giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,
4That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,
5Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers.
6He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!
7At rest -- quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth [into] singing.
8Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon -- [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.
9Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations.
