11. All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,along with the noise of your harps;maggots are spread out beneath youand worms cover you.
12. How you have fallen from heaven,morning star, son of the dawn!You have been cast down to the earth,you who once laid low the nations!
13. You said in your heart,‘I will ascend to the heavens;I will raise my throneabove the stars of God;I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;I will make myself like the Most High.’
15. But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,to the depths of the pit.
16. Those who see you stare at you,they ponder your fate:‘Is this the man who shook the earthand made kingdoms tremble,
17. the man who made the world a wilderness,who overthrew its citiesand would not let his captives go home?’
