Isaiah 14:4

4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased! How the flood has receded!

Isaiah 14:4 In-Context

2 The peoples will take them and will bring them to their own place. The house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the LORD's land, making captives of their captors and ruling their oppressors.
3 When the LORD has given you rest from pain and trouble and from the hard labor that you perform,
4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased! How the flood has receded!
5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of tyrants
6 that struck peoples in rage with ceaseless blows, that ruled nations with anger, with relentless aggression.
