Isaiah 14:15

Verse 15 of 32. The 14th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

11Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

12How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

13You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”

15Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.

16Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,

17who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”

18All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

19But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
