3. It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve,
4. that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:“How the oppressor has ceased,The golden city ceased!
5. The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,The scepter of the rulers;
6. He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,He who ruled the nations in anger,Is persecuted and no one hinders.
