Isaiah 14:3-7

New American Standard Bible

“How ^(C)the oppressor has ceased,
And how the ^[b]onslaught has ceased!
⁵ The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of rulers,
^6 (D)Which used to strike the peoples in fury with unceasing strokes,
Which ^[c]subdued the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.
⁷ The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;
They ^(E)break forth into shouts of joy.
