Context of Isaiah 14:10
8Even the pine trees and the cedar trees in Lebanon are happy because your power has finished. They say to you, “Now God has knocked you down. So nobody will come again to cut us down!” 9The deep hole of death below the earth is ready to receive you! People there want to meet you. The spirits of those who ruled on the earth have heard that you are coming. They are standing up from their thrones. All of them will say to you, “Now you have become as weak as we are! You are weak like us!” 11Your great power has now come down low, into the deep hole of death. People no longer praise you with their harps. Now you will lie on a bed of maggots. A blanket of worms will cover you. 12Look at you! You have fallen from heaven! You shine like the bright morning star! You have won against many nations, but now you have come down very low!
