3 And this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,
4 you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: 'How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?
5 The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,
6 which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.
7 All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.
