Isaiah 14:9-15 ▼

9 Below, Sheol is all astir preparing for your coming; Awakening the shades to greet you, all the leaders of the earth; Making all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.

10 All of them speak out and say to you, “You too have become weak like us, you are just like us!

11 Down to Sheol your pomp is brought, the sound of your harps. Maggots are the couch beneath you, worms your blanket.”

12 How you have fallen from the heavens, O Morning Star, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, you who conquered nations!

13 In your heart you said: “I will scale the heavens; Above the stars of God I will set up my throne; I will take my seat on the Mount of Assembly, on the heights of Zaphon.

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will be like the Most High!”

15 No! Down to Sheol you will be brought to the depths of the pit!
