The forecast: rest and quiet, then exuberant singing

The whole earth is at rest and quiet.
They break forth into singing.

Isaiah 14:7

This is part of Isaiah's announcement of how Israel's oppressor, Babylon will fall.
God also gives rest and quiet to the embattled believer. It's a promise of Jesus:
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest." (Matt. 11:28, MSG)
Things might be exhausting and cacophonous, but that will change.
