Isaiah 14:4-19

4 you will take up this ^etaunt against the king of Babylon:

“How the oppressor has ceased,
^fthe insolent fury ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate); the meaning of the word in the Masoretic Text is uncertain} ceased!
5 The Lord has broken the ^hstaff of the wicked,
the ⁱscepter of rulers,
6 ^jthat struck the peoples in wrath
with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrelenting persecution.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
^kthey break forth into singing.
8 ^l, ^mThe cypresses rejoice at you,
ⁿthe cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low,
no woodcutter comes up against us.’
9 Sheol beneath is stirred up
to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.
10 ^oAll of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12 “How ^pyou are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, ^qson of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
13 You said in your heart,
^r‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
^sI will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; ^{▼▼Or in the remote parts of Zaphon}
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 ^uBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
‘Is this ^vthe man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,
17 who made the world like a desert
and overthrew its cities,
^wwho did not let his prisoners go home?’
18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
each in his own tomb; ^{▼▼Hebrew house}
19 but you are cast out, away from your grave,
like a loathed branch,
^yclothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
who go down to the stones of the pit,
like a dead body trampled underfoot.

Jeremiah 29:22

22 ^zBecause of them ^aathis curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, ^abwhom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,”

Jeremiah 50:13

13 ^acBecause of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited
but shall be an utter desolation;
^adeveryone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled,
^aeand hiss because of all her wounds.

Ezekiel 32:21

21 The mighty chiefs ^afshall speak of them, ^agwith their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, ^ahthe uncircumcised, ^aislain by the sword.’

Micah 2:4

4 In that day ^ajthey shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
^akhe changes the portion of my people;
^alhow he removes it from me!
^amTo an apostate he allots our fields.”
