¹² How you are fallen from heaven,
   O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
   you who laid the nations low!
¹³ You said in your heart,
   ‘I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
   above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
   on the heights of Zaphon;^*
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds,
   I will make myself like the Most High.’
¹⁵ But you are brought down to Sheol,
   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,
¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
   and overthrew its cities,
   who would not let his prisoners go home?’
