12 How you have (A)fallen from heaven,
You [a](B)star of the morning, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth,
You who defeated the nations!
13 But you said in your heart,
‘I will (C)ascend to heaven;
I will (D)raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
(E)I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 Nevertheless you (F)will be brought down to Sheol,
To the recesses of the pit.

  1. Isaiah 14:12 Heb Helel; i.e., shining one

14 You were the (A)anointed cherub who [a]covers,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy (B)mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the (C)stones of fire.
15 You were (D)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until (E)unrighteousness was found in you.
16 By the (F)abundance of your trade
[b]You were internally (G)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, you [c]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
