Shining One Fallen From Heaven

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O brighstar[a], son of the dawn![b]
How you are cut down to the earth,
you who made the nations prostrate!
13 You said in your heart:
“I will ascend to heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.[c]
I will sit upon the mount of meeting,
    in the uttermost parts of the north.
14 I will ascend above the high places of the clouds—
I will make myself like Elyon.”
15 Yet you will be brought down to Sheol,
to the lowest parts of the Pit.
