12. How is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?
13. And you said in your heart: 'I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.
14. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.'
15. Yet truly, you shall be dragged down to Hell, into the depths of the pit.
16. Those who see you, will lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: 'Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook kingdoms,
17. who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?' "
18. All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.
19. But you have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.
