Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, (saying,) Since thou hast lain down, the feller cometh not up against us.
9 Hell (from) beneath is disquieted for thee, to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the Shades for thee, all the chief ones of the earth; ’ raiseth from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 All they shall answer and say ’unto thee, Thou also art made weak as we ἦ thou art made like unto us!
11 Thy pride is brought down to hell, the noise of thy viols; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worm is thy covering.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the dawn; how art thou hewn down to the ground, which didst lay low the nations!
13 And thou, thou sajdst in thy heart, I will ascend the heavens; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the recesses of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall look narrowly on thee, shall gaze earnestly on thee: Is this the man that did disquiet the earth, that made kingdoms tremble?
