Isaiah 14:7

7 But now, the whole world rests and is quiet. Now the people begin to sing.

Isaiah 14:7 In-Context

5 The Lord has broken the scepter of evil rulers and taken away their power.
6 The king of Babylon struck people in anger again and again. He ruled nations in anger and continued to hurt them.
7 But now, the whole world rests and is quiet. Now the people begin to sing.
8 Even the pine trees are happy, and the cedar trees of Lebanon rejoice. They say, "The king has fallen, so no one will ever cut us down again."
9 The place of the dead is excited to meet you when you come. It wakes the spirits of the dead, the leaders of the world. It makes kings of all nations stand up from their thrones to greet you.
