How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
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 assembly in the far reaches of the north;
13
You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'

I will ascend above the tops 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.

But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you and ponder over you: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,

Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,
17 who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?'
17
the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?”
