2 Then people will take them aand bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, band rule over their oppressors.
Fall of the King of Babylon
3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve,
4 that you awill take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:
“How the oppressor has ceased,
The bgolden city ceased!
“How the oppressor has ceased,
The bgolden city ceased!
6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
8 aIndeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you1 were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you1 were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’
