Isaiah 14:13-17
The Message
Isaiah 14:13-17
The Message
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!”
15-17 But you didn’t make it, did you?
Instead of climbing up, you came down—
Down with the underground dead,
down to the abyss of the Pit.
People will stare and muse:
“Can this be the one
Who terrorized earth and its kingdoms,
turned earth to a moonscape,
Wasted its cities,
shut up his prisoners to a living death?”
Isaiah 14:13-15
New International Version
Isaiah 14:13-15
New International Version
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(A) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(B)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(C)
on the utmost heights(D) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(E)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(F)
15 But you are brought down(G) to the realm of the dead,(H)
to the depths(I) of the pit.(J)
