Bible verse
Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
Isaiah 14:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 14.
4 you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!
5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.
6 It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.
7 All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.
8 Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
9 Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you—all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
10 They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”
11 Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket.
12 How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.
