Isaiah 14:4-17

you will sing this song of contempt about the king of Babylon  and say: How the oppressor has quieted down, and how the raging  has become quiet! The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers. It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows. It subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution. The whole earth is calm and at rest; people shout with a ringing cry. Even the cypresses and the cedars of Lebanon rejoice over you:  “Since you have been laid low, no lumberjack has come against us.” Sheol below is eager to greet your coming, stirring up the spirits of the departed for you — all the rulers  of the earth — making all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. They all respond to you, saying, “You too have become as weak as we are; you have become like us! Your splendor has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.” Shining morning star,  , how you have fallen from the heavens!  You destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground. You said to yourself, “I will ascend to the heavens;  I will set up my throne above the stars of God.  I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly, in the remotest parts of the North.  , I will ascend above the highest clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” But you will be brought down to Sheol into the deepest regions of the Pit.  Those who see you will stare at you; they will look closely at you: “Is this the man who caused the earth to tremble, who shook the kingdoms, who turned the world into a wilderness,  who destroyed its cities and would not release the prisoners to return home? ”
