Isaiah 14:12-17

21st Century King James Version

¹² “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, who didst weaken the nations!

¹³ For thou hast said in thine heart, ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.

¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.’

¹⁵ Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

¹⁶ They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee, saying, ‘Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms,

¹⁷ that made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the house of his prisoners?’
