Isaiah 14:12-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² Shining morning star,^[a](A)
how you have fallen from the heavens!^(B)
You destroyer of nations,
you have been cut down to the ground.
¹³ You said to yourself:
“I will ascend to the heavens;^(C)
I will set up my throne
above the stars of God.^(D)
I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,
in the remotest parts of the North.^[b](E)
14 I will ascend above the highest clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
¹⁵ But you will be brought down to Sheol
into the deepest regions of the Pit.^(F)

¹⁶ Those who see you will stare at you;
they will look closely at you:
“Is this the man who caused the earth to tremble,
who shook the kingdoms,
¹⁷ who turned the world into a wilderness,^(G)
who destroyed its cities
and would not release the prisoners to return home?”
