Isaiah 14

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Verses 1-32

Isaiah 14:8

Ruskin says on this text: "Consider such expressions as that tender and glorious verse in is, speaking of the cedars on the mountains as rejoicing over the fall of the king of Assyria: "Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art gone down to the grave, no feller is come up against us." See what sympathy there is here, as if with the very hearts of the trees themselves."
