Isaiah 14:10-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10. "They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

11. 'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.'

12. "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

13. "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.

14. 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'

15. "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.

16. "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,

17. Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'

18. "All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb.

19. "But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse.

20. "You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.
