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?
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
a‘I will ascend into heaven,
bI will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the cmount of the congregation
dOn the farthest sides of the north;
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
Like an1 abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
1Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
aThe brood of evildoers shall never be named.
aBecause of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”
Babylon Destroyed
“And cut off from Babylon athe name and bremnant,
cAnd offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.
