23:014:004 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of
           Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden
           city ceased!

23:014:005 The lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre
           of the rulers.

23:014:006 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he
           that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none
           hindereth.

23:014:007 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet:  they break forth
           into singing.

23:014:008 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,
           saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against
           us.

23:014:009 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy
           coming:  it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief
           ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all
           the kings of the nations.

23:014:010 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become
           weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

23:014:011 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy
           viols:  the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover
           thee.

23:014:012 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
           morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
           weaken the nations!

23:014:013 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
           I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:  I will sit also
           upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 

23:014:014 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
           the most High.

23:014:015 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
           pit.

23:014:016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
           thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
           that did shake kingdoms;

23:014:017 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
           thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

23:014:018 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
           every one in his own house.

23:014:019 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,
           and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through
           with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a
           carcase trodden under feet.

23:014:020 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou
           hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people:  the seed of
           evildoers shall never be renowned.

23:014:021 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their
           fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill
           the face of the world with cities.
