Isaiah 14:13–20

13  And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of •God, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north; 14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High: 15  none the less art thou brought down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit. 16  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms; 17  that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that dismissed not his prisoners homewards? 18  —All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house; 19  but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain—those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot. 20  Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.
