12 How you are fallen from heaven,
    O Morning Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
    you who laid the nations low!(A)
13 You said to yourself,
    “I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
    above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
    on the heights of Zaphon;[a](B)
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.”(C)
15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the depths of the Pit.(D)
