Isaiah 14:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the sound of the viols: the worm [a]is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O [b]Lucifer, son of the morning? and cut down to the ground, which didst cast lots upon the nations?
13 Yet thou saidest in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, and exalt my throne above beside the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the [c]North.
