Isaiah 14:9-15
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.’
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How(C) you are fallen from heaven,
O [b]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
(D)‘I will ascend into heaven,
(E)I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the (F)mount of the congregation
(G)On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
(H)I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you (I)shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [c]lowest depths of the Pit.
