4 Then shalt thou vse this mockage vpon the kyng of Babylon, and say: Howe happeneth it that the oppressour leaueth of? Is the golden tribute come to an ende? 5 The Lorde hath broken the scepter of the vngodly, and the rod of the lordelye, 6 Which when he is wroth, smiteth the people with continuall strokes, and in wrath raigneth ouer the heathen, who he persecuteth without compassion. 7 And therfore the whole worlde is nowe at rest and quietnesse, and men sing for ioy. Isaiah 14:4-7, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
