Isaiah 14:9-20
9SheolH7585 beneathH8478 is eagerH7264 to meetH7122 you upon your arrivalH935. It stirsH5782 the spirits of the deadH7496 to greet you— allH3605 the rulersH6260 of the earthH776. It makes allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471 riseH6965 from their thronesH3678.10They will allH3605 respondH6030 to youH413, sayingH559, “YouH859 tooH1571 have become weakH2470, asH3644 we areH413; you have become like usH4911!”11Your pompH1347 has been brought downH3381 to SheolH7585, along with the musicH1998 of your harpsH5035. MaggotsH7415 are your bedH3331H8478 and wormsH8438 your blanketH4374.
12HowH349 you have fallenH5307 from heavenH8064,O day starH1966,1 sonH1121 of the dawnH7837!You have been cut downH1438 to the groundH776,O destroyerH2522 ofH5921 nationsH1471.13YouH859 saidH559 in your heartH3824:“I will ascendH5927 to the heavensH8064;I will raiseH7311 my throneH3678aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410.I will sitH3427 on the mountH2022 of assemblyH4150,in the far reachesH3411 of the northH6828.214I will ascendH5927 aboveH5921 the topsH1116 of the cloudsH5645;I will make myself likeH1819 the Most HighH5945.”
15ButH389 you will be brought downH3381 toH413 SheolH7585,toH413 the lowest depthsH3411 of the PitH953.16Those who see youH7200 will stareH7688;they will ponderH995 your fateH413:“Is thisH2088 the manH376 who shookH7264 the earthH776and made the kingdomsH4467 trembleH7493,17who turnedH7760 the worldH8398 into a desertH4057and destroyedH2040 its citiesH5892,who refusedH3808 to letH6605 the captivesH615return to their homesH1004?”
18AllH3605 the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471H3605 lieH7901 in stateH3519,eachH376 in his own tombH1004.319But youH859 are cast outH7993 of your graveH6913 like a rejectedH8581 branchH5342,coveredH3830 by those slainH2026H2944 with the swordH2719,and dumpedH3381 intoH413 a rockyH68 pitH953like a carcassH6297 trampled underfootH947.20You will notH3808 join themH3161H854 in burialH6900,sinceH3588 you have destroyedH7843 your landH776and slaughteredH2026 your own peopleH5971.The offspringH2233 of the wickedH7489will never againH3808H5769 be mentionedH7121.
