¹² Shining morning star,^[a](A)
how you have fallen from the heavens!^(B)
You destroyer of nations,
you have been cut down to the ground.
¹³ You said to yourself:
“I will ascend to the heavens;^(C)
I will set up my throne
above the stars of God.^(D)
I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,
in the remotest parts of the North.^[b](E)
14 I will ascend above the highest clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
