Isaiah 14:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 14:14

The Fall of Lucifer

12 “Ho¹w^a you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

13 For you have said in your heart:
^a‘I will ascend into heaven,
^bI will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the ^cmount of the congregation
^dOn the farthest sides of the north;

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
^aI will be like the Most High.’

15 Yet you ^ashall be brought down to Sheol,
To the¹ lowest depths of the Pit.

16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,

17 Who¹ made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’

18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;

19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an¹ abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
¹Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
