Isaiah 14:10

10 All of them speak and say to you: "Even you've become weak like we are! You are the same as us!"

Isaiah 14:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:10

All they shall speak, and say unto thee
So they would say, could they speak, and are here represented as if they did: art thou become also weak as we?
who had been more powerful than they, had been too many for them, and had subdued them, and ruled over them, and was not only looked upon as invincible but as immortal, yea, as a deity; and yet now was become "sick", as the word F2 signifies, or by sickness brought to death, and by death enfeebled and rendered weak and without strength, stripped of all natural strength, as well as of all civil power and authority: art thou become like unto us?
who thought himself, and was flattered by others, that there were none like unto him; but now as the rest of the dead, and upon a level with them. So will it be with the Romish antichrist, who now exalts himself above all that is called God, and reigns over the kings of the earth, and shows himself as if he was God, and of whom his parasites say, "who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" when he shall be consumed by Christ, and cast into the lake of fire with the devil and false prophet, he will be like the kings of the earth deceived by him, and the rest of the worshippers of him, and be as weak as they, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ) ( Revelation 13:4 ) ( Revelation 20:10 ) .

Isaiah 14:10 In-Context

8 Even the cypresses rejoice over you, the cedars of Lebanon: "Since you were laid low, no logger comes up against us!"
9 The underworld beneath becomes restless to greet your arrival. It awakens the ghosts, all the leaders of earth; it makes the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
10 All of them speak and say to you: "Even you've become weak like we are! You are the same as us!"
11 Your majesty has been brought down to the underworld, along with the sound of your harps. Under you is a bed of maggots, and worms are your blanket.
12 How you've fallen from heaven, morning star, son of dawn! You are cut down to earth, helpless on your back!
