Isaiah 14:6-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. that struck peoples in rage with ceaseless blows,that ruled nations with anger,with relentless aggression.

7. All the earth rests quietly,then it breaks into song.

8. Even the cypresses rejoice over you,the cedars of Lebanon:"Since you were laid low,no logger comes up against us!"

9. The underworld beneath becomes restless to greet your arrival.It awakens the ghosts,all the leaders of earth;it makes the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.

10. All of them speak and say to you:"Even you’ve become weak like we are!You are the same as us!"

11. Your majesty has been brought down to the underworld,along with the sound of your harps.Under you is a bed of maggots,and worms are your blanket.
