Isaiah 14:15

15 none the less art thou brought down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit.

Isaiah 14:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:15

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell
Into a very low and miserable condition; see ( Matthew 11:23 ) instead of ascending to heaven: or "to the grave"; though, inasmuch as afterwards a burial is denied him, the word may be taken for the infernal pit, and so is, as much as can be, opposed to heaven; and this will be true of antichrist, when the beast and false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire, ( Revelation 19:20 ) : to the sides of the pit;
instead of being on the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north; another word for hell, the pit of corruption, and the bottomless pit. The Targum is,

``to the ends of the lake of the house of perdition;''
the place of everlasting destruction.

Isaiah 14:15 In-Context

13 And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High:
15 none the less art thou brought down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, [saying,] Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms;
17 [that] made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; [that] dismissed not his prisoners homewards?
