Isaiah 14:8Easy To Read VersionYou were an evil king,\par and now you are finished.\par Even the pine trees are happy.\par The cedar trees of Lebanon are happy.\par The trees say,\par “The king chopped us down.\par But now the king has fallen,\par and he will never stand again.”\par See the chapter |
You sent your officers\par to insult the Lord my Master.\par You said,\par ‘\{I am very powerful!\}\par I have many, many chariots. {\cf2\super [354]} \par \{With my power I defeated Lebanon.\}\par I climbed the highest mountains\par of Lebanon. {\cf2\super [355]} \par I cut down all the great trees (armies)\par of Lebanon.\par I have been to the highest mountain\par and into the deepest part of that forest.\par
I made the tree fall—and the nations shook with fear at the sound of the falling tree. I sent the tree down to the place of death, to join the other people that had gone down into that deep hole. In the past, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, drank that water. Those trees were comforted in the world below.
