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.”
