Isaiah 14:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ When they became angry, they struck down nations.
    Their blows never stopped.
In their anger they brought nations under their control.
    They attacked them again and again.
⁷ All the lands now enjoy peace and rest.
    They break out into singing.
⁸ Even the juniper trees show how happy they are.
    The cedar trees of Lebanon celebrate too.
They say, ‘Babylon, you have fallen.
    Now no one comes and cuts us down.’
