Isaiah 14:12-17

King of Babylon, morning star, you have fallen from heaven, even though you were as bright as the rising sun! In the past all the nations on earth bowed down before you. But now you have been cut down. You told yourself, “I will go up to heaven. I will put my throne above God’s stars. I will sit on the mountain of the gods. I will sit on the slopes of the sacred mountain. I will go up above the tops of the clouds. I will be like God Most High.” But you were brought down to the grave. You were brought down to the deep places where the dead are. Those who see you stare at you. They think about what has happened to you. They say, “Is this the same man who caused great fear on earth? Is he the one who shook the kingdoms? Is this the man who turned the land into a desert? Is he the one who destroyed its cities? Is he the one who captured people in war and would not let them go home?”
