Isaiah 14:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ The world of the dead
    eagerly waits for you.
With great excitement,
the spirits of ancient rulers
    hear about your coming.
¹⁰ Each one of them will say,
“Now you are just as weak
    as any of us!
¹¹ Your pride and your music
have ended here
    in the world of the dead.
Worms are your blanket,
    maggots are your bed.”
