¹⁴ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

⁷ The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.

⁸ Yes, the fir trees rejoice at you, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you are laid low, no lumberjack is come up against us.

¹³ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be disappointed;

¹⁴ behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.

¹⁵ You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yahweh will kill you; and he will call his servants by another name:

⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come to her from the north, says Yahweh.
