Isaiah 14:9-15
9Sheol beneath is stirred upto meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.
10 aAll of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12 “How byou are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, cson of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
13You said in your heart,
d‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
eI will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; ▼
▼Or in the remote parts of Zaphon
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 gBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
