Isaiah 14:9-15 ▼

9 Sheol from beneath trembles excitedly over you to meet you when you come; It wakens for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

10 They will all answer and say to you, ‘Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

11 Your pride and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.’

12 How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

13 But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’

15 Nevertheless you will be brought down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.
