The Downfall of the King of Babylon
3And it shall happen on the day Yahweh gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and hard labor which you had to perform,b
4that you will take this taunt against the king of Babylon,
and you will say:
“How the oppressor has ceased!
his insolencec has ceased.
5Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked,
the scepter of rulers,
6that struck the peoples in wrath, a blow without ceasing,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrestrained persecution.d
7All of the earth rests and is quiet;
they break forth into singing.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
When the Lord has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:
“How the oppressor has ceased,
the insolent fury ceased!
The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
the scepter of rulers,
that struck the peoples in wrath
with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrelenting persecution.
The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
they break forth into singing.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
On the day the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:
How the oppressor has come to an end!
How his fury has ended!
The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked,
the scepter of the rulers,
which in anger struck down peoples
with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued nations
with relentless aggression.
All the lands are at rest and at peace;
they break into singing.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
When the Lord gives you rest from your pain, torment, and the hard labor you were forced to do, you will sing this song of contempt about the king of Babylon and say:
How the oppressor has quieted down,
and how the raging has become quiet!
The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
the scepter of the rulers.
It struck the peoples in anger
with unceasing blows.
It subdued the nations in rage
with relentless persecution.
The whole earth is calm and at rest;
people shout with a ringing cry.

NLTNew Living Translation
In that wonderful day when the Lord gives his people rest from sorrow and fear, from slavery and chains, you will taunt the king of Babylon. You will say,
“The mighty man has been destroyed.
Yes, your insolence is ended.
For the Lord has crushed your wicked power
and broken your evil rule.
You struck the people with endless blows of rage
and held the nations in your angry grip
with unrelenting tyranny.
But finally the earth is at rest and quiet.
Now it can sing again!

KJV 1900King James Version
And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say,
How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
