New Testament

Isaiah 14:9-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. Sheol beneath is stirred upto meet you when you come;it rouses the shades to greet you,all who were leaders of the earth;it raises from their thronesall who were kings of the nations.

10. All of them will answerand say to you:‘You too have become as weak as we!You have become like us!’

11. Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,the sound of your harps;maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,and worms are your covers.

12. “How you are fallen from heaven,O Day Star, son of Dawn!How you are cut down to the ground,you who laid the nations low!

13. You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven;above the stars of God I will set my throne on high;I will sit on the mount of assemblyin the far reaches of the north;

14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;I will make myself like the Most High.’

15. But you are brought down to Sheol,to the far reaches of the pit.
