The Fall of the Day Star

12 “How you have fallen from heaven,
    Day Star,[a] son of the Dawn![b]
How you have been thrown down to earth,
    you who laid low the nation![c]
13 You said in your heart,
    ‘I’ll ascend to heaven,
        above the stars of God.
I’ll erect my throne;
    I’ll sit[d] on the Mount of Assembly
        in the far reaches of the north;[e]
14 I’ll ascend above the tops of the clouds;
    I’ll make myself like the Most High.’
