Isaiah 14:12-15

Israel's Remnant Taunts Babylon

12 "How d you are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, e son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
 13 You said in your heart,
f 'I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
g I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; 1
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.'
 15 h But you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
