Context of Isaiah 14:10
8Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, along with the cedars of Lebanon: “Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.” 9Sheol from below is excited about you, to meet you at your coming! He stirs up the dead spirits for you, even the chief ones of the earth. He makes all the kings of the nations rise up from their thrones. They all answer and say to you: “Even you have become as weak as us? Have you become like us? 11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol with the music of your harps. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.” 12How you have fallen from heaven, O brightstar, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the earth, you who made the nations prostrate!
