6 he who struck the people in wrath with unceasing strokes,he who ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and no one hinders.
7 The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;they break forth into singing.
8 Indeed, the fir trees rejoice at you,and the cedars of Lebanon, saying,“Since you are laid down,no tree cutter has come up against us.”
9 Hell from beneath is moved for youto meet you at your coming;it stirs up the dead for you,even all the chief ones of the earth;it has raised up from their thronesall the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall speakand say to you:“Have you also become as weak as we have?Have you become like us?”
11 Your pomp is brought down to Hell,and the noise of your harps;maggots are spread under you,and the worms cover you.
12 How are you fallen from heaven,O Lucifer, son of the morning!How you are cut down to the ground,you who weaken the nations!
