Isaiah 14:9-11
New International Version
9 The realm of the dead(A) below is all astir
to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed(B) to greet you—
all those who were leaders(C) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
all those who were kings over the nations.(D)
10 They will all respond,
they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(E)
11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(F)
along with the noise of your harps;(G)
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms(H) cover you.(I)

Isaiah 14:9-11
New King James Version
9 “Hell(A)[a] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall (B)speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’

9 Sheol beneath is stirred up
to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.

You have become like us!’

the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
