Isa 14:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9–11 : The passage uses the picture of the realm of the dead (Sheol or hell) welcoming the fallen king. The spirits of other dead rulers rise to greet him, mocking him because he is now weak like them. The king, who once had great power and music in his palace, now lies among worms. This shows that pride and power do not last, and all people die the same way (Isaiah 14:9
