Isaiah 14:8


8 The evergreens also rejoice over your demise,
tn Heb “concerning you.”

as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing,
tn The word “singing” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. Note that the personified trees speak in the second half of the verse.

Since you fell asleep,
tn Heb “lay down” (in death); cf. NAB “laid to rest.”

no woodsman comes up to chop us down!’
tn Heb “the [wood]cutter does not come up against us.”
