12 You, the bright morning star,have fallen from the sky!You brought down other nations;now you are brought down.
13 You said to yourself,“I'll climb to heavenand place my throneabove the highest stars.I'll sit there with the godsfar away in the north.
14 I'll be above the clouds,just like God Most High.”
15 But now you are deepin the world of the dead.
16 Those who see you will stareand wonder, “Is this the manwho made the world trembleand shook up kingdoms?
17 Did he capture every cityand make earth a desert?Is he the one who refusedto let prisoners go home?”
18 When kings die, they are buriedin glorious tombs.
