Isaiah 14:12-14
The Message
12 What a comedown this, O Babylon!
Daystar! Son of Dawn!
Flat on your face in the underworld mud,
you, famous for flattening nations!
13-14 You said to yourself,
“I’ll climb to heaven.
I’ll set my throne
over the stars of God.
I’ll run the assembly of angels
that meets on sacred Mount Zaphon.
I’ll climb to the top of the clouds.
I’ll take over as King of the Universe!”
Isaiah 14:12-14
New International Version
12 How you have fallen(A) from heaven,
morning star,(B) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(C)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(D) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(E)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(F)
on the utmost heights(G) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(H)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(I)
