Context of Isaiah 14:10
8Even the cypresses rejoice over you. The cedars of Lebanon say, “Since you have fallen, no lumberjack has come to attack us.” 9Sheol below wakes up to meet you when you come. It wakes up the ghosts of the dead, all who were leaders on earth. It raises all who were kings of the nations from their thrones. All of them will greet you, “You also have become weak like us! You have become like one of us!” 11Your pride has been brought down to Sheol along with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out ⌞like a bed⌟ under you, and worms cover you. 12How you have fallen from heaven, you morning star, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you conqueror of nations!
