9 Hades from beneath was moved for thee to meet thy coming: it roused the shades for thee, all the leaders of the earth: it raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they will answer and say to thee, Also thou wert weak as we; thou wert made like to us. 11 Thy grandeur was brought down to hades, the sound of thy harps: the worm was spread under thee, and worms covering thee. 12 How thou fallest from the heavens, brilliant star, son of the morning! thou wert cut off to the earth, overthrowing upon the nations! 13 And thou saidst in thy heart, I will go up to the heavens; from above to the stars of God I will lift up my throne, and I will sit upon the mountain of appointment in the thighs of the north. 14 I will go up upon the heights of the cloud: I will become like the Most High. 15 But to hades shalt thou come down, to the thighs of the pit.
