To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
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;
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
| << Isaiah 14:10 | Isaiah 14:12 >> |
