14:9 Sheol 1 below is stirred up about you,
ready to meet you when you arrive.
It rouses 2 the spirits of the dead for you,
all the former leaders of the earth; 3
it makes all the former kings of the nations
rise from their thrones. 4
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 5 has been brought down to Sheol,
as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. 6
You lie on a bed of maggots,
with a blanket of worms over you. 7
14:12 Look how you have fallen from the sky,
O shining one, son of the dawn! 8
You have been cut down to the ground,
O conqueror 9 of the nations! 10
