4 And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!

Esias 14:4 In-Context

2 And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives ; and they that had lordship over them shall be under rule.

3 And it shall come to pass in that day, the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.

4 And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!

5 The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.

6 Having smitten a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, smiting a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared not, he rested in quiet.
