3And it shall come to passe in the day that the Lord shal giue thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy feare, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serue, 4¶ That thou shalt take vp this prouerbe against the king of Babylon, and say; How hath the oppressour ceased? the golden citie ceased? 5The Lord hath broken the staffe of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. 6He who smote the people in wrath with a continuall stroke; hee that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted and none hindereth. 7The whole earth is at rest and is quiet: they breake foorth into singing.
