Isaiah 14:8

The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, ¹  as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing, ²  ‘Since you fell asleep, ³  no woodsman comes up to chop us down!’ ⁴ 

Even the pine trees and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say, "Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes to cut us down."

"Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, ‘Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.’

Even the trees of the forest––the cypress trees and the cedars of Lebanon––sing out this joyous song: ‘Your power is broken! No one will come to cut us down now!’

Ponderosa pine trees are happy, giant Lebanon cedars are relieved, saying, "Since you've been cut down, there's no one around to cut us down."

Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.

The cypresses exult over you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you were laid low, no one comes to cut us down."

Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, And the cedars of Lebanon, Saying , ‘Since you were cut down, No woodsman has come up against us.’

The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, ¹  as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing, ²  ‘Since you fell asleep, ³  no woodsman comes up to chop us down!’ ⁴
