Isaiah 14:10-19
King James Version
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Isaiah 14:10-19
New International Version
10 They will all respond,
they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(A)
11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(B)
along with the noise of your harps;(C)
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms(D) cover you.(E)
12 How you have fallen(F) from heaven,
morning star,(G) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(H)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(I) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(J)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(K)
on the utmost heights(L) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(M)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(N)
15 But you are brought down(O) to the realm of the dead,(P)
to the depths(Q) of the pit.(R)

Isaiah 14:10-19
New King James Version
10 They all shall (A)speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How(B) you are fallen from heaven,
O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
(C)‘I will ascend into heaven,
(D)I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the (E)mount of the congregation
(F)On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
(G)I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you (H)shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [b]lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [c]did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an [d]abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
[e]Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
