¹⁴ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee.

⁷ At rest -- quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth `into' singing.

⁸ Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon -- `saying': Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.

¹³ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, My servants do eat, and ye do hunger, Lo, My servants do drink, and ye do thirst, Lo, My servants rejoice, and ye are ashamed,

¹⁴ Lo, My servants sing from joy of heart, And ye cry from pain of heart, And from breaking of spirit ye do howl.

¹⁵ And ye have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And the Lord Jehovah hath put thee to death, And to His servants He giveth another name.

⁴⁸ And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that `is' in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
