¹² King of Babylon, morning star, you have fallen from heaven,
    even though you were as bright as the rising sun!
In the past all the nations on earth bowed down before you.
    But now you have been cut down.
¹³ You told yourself,
    “I will go up to heaven.
I will put my throne
    above God’s stars.
I will sit on the mountain of the gods.
    I will sit on the slopes of the sacred mountain.
¹⁴ I will go up above the tops of the clouds.
    I will be like God Most High.”
