O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

(C)I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the (D)mount of the congregation
(E)On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
(F)I will be like the Most High.’

To the [b]lowest depths of the Pit.
