Isaiah 14:12-20
New International Version
12 How you have fallen(A) from heaven,
morning star,(B) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(C)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(D) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(E)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(F)
on the utmost heights(G) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(H)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(I)
15 But you are brought down(J) to the realm of the dead,(K)
to the depths(L) of the pit.(M)
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:(N)
“Is this the man who shook(O) the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,(P)
who overthrew(Q) its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”(R)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.(S)
19 But you are cast out(T) of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(U)
with those pierced by the sword,(V)
those who descend to the stones of the pit.(W)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,(X)
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.

Ezekiel 28:12-19
New International Version
12 “Son of man, take up a lament(A) concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.(B)
13 You were in Eden,(C)
the garden of God;(D)
every precious stone(E) adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoise(F) and beryl.[a]
Your settings and mountings[b] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.(G)
14 You were anointed(H) as a guardian cherub,(I)
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(J)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(K)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(L)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(M)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(N) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(O) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(P)
19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled(Q) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(R)’”

Revelation 12:7-12
New International Version
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(A) and his angels fought against the dragon,(B) and the dragon and his angels(C) fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(D) called the devil,(E) or Satan,(F) who leads the whole world astray.(G) He was hurled to the earth,(H) and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(I) say:
“Now have come the salvation(J) and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(K)
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(L) him
by the blood of the Lamb(M)
and by the word of their testimony;(N)
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.(O)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(P)
and you who dwell in them!
But woe(Q) to the earth and the sea,(R)
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”
