^4 (A)Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
And though you ^(B)set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.

^6 (A)Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens,
And his head reaches to the clouds,
⁷ Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

¹² “How^(A) you are fallen from heaven,
O ^[a]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:
^(B)‘I will ascend into heaven,
^(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.’
¹⁵ Yet you ^(G)shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the ^[b]lowest depths of the Pit.

^53 (A)Though Babylon were to ^[a]mount up to heaven,
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.

¹⁶ Your fierceness has deceived you,
The ^(A)pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
^(B)Though you make your ^(C)nest as high as the eagle,
^(D)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

²⁷ Does the ^(A)eagle mount up at your command,
And ^(B)make its nest on high?
²⁸ On the rock it dwells and resides,
On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
