12. How you’ve fallen from heaven,morning star, son of dawn!You are cut down to earth,helpless on your back!
13. You said to yourself, I will climb up to heaven;above God’s stars, I will raise my throne.I’ll sit on the mount of assembly,on the heights of Zaphon.
14. I’ll go up to the cloud tops;I’ll be like the Most High!
15. But down to the underworld you are brought,to the depths of the pit.
16. Those who see you will stare at you;they will examine you closely:"Is this the man who rattled the earth,who shook kingdoms,
17. who made the world a wastelandand tore down its cities,and wouldn’t let his prisoners go home?"
