Isaiah 14:12–17
14:12 Look how you have fallen from the sky,
O shining one, son of the dawn!23
You have been cut down to the ground,
O conqueror24 of the nations!25
14:13 You said to yourself,26
“I will climb up to the sky.
Above the stars of El27
I will set up my throne.
I will rule on the mountain of assembly
on the remote slopes of Zaphon.28
14:14 I will climb up to the tops29 of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High!”30
14:15 But you were brought down31 to Sheol,
to the remote slopes of the pit.32
14:16 Those who see you stare at you,
they look at you carefully, thinking:33
“Is this the man who shook the earth,
the one who made kingdoms tremble?
14:17 Is this the one who made the world like a desert,
who ruined its34 cities,
and refused to free his prisoners so they could return home?” ’35
