14:10 All of them respond to you, saying:
‘You too have become weak like us!
You have become just like us!
14:11 Your splendor 1 has been brought down to Sheol,
as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. 2
You lie on a bed of maggots,
with a blanket of worms over you. 3
14:12 Look how you have fallen from the sky,
O shining one, son of the dawn! 4
You have been cut down to the ground,
O conqueror 5 of the nations! 6
14:13 You said to yourself, 7
“I will climb up to the sky.
Above the stars of El 8
I will set up my throne.
I will rule on the mountain of assembly
on the remote slopes of Zaphon. 9
14:14 I will climb up to the tops 10 of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High!” 11
14:15 But you were brought down 12 to Sheol,
to the remote slopes of the pit. 13
14:16 Those who see you stare at you,
they look at you carefully, thinking: 14
“Is this the man who shook the earth,
the one who made kingdoms tremble?
