He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you1 were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?

Isaiah 14:7
The whole earth is at rest - The kingdom of Babylonia, or Chaldea, extended nearly over the whole pagan world. Now that Babylon was fallen, and that those oppressions would cease, the world is represented as in peace and quietness.
They break forth into singing - That is, the inhabitants of all the nations that were subject to Babylon now rejoice that they are released from its galling and oppressive yoke.
