11 Your pride has been brought down to Sheol
    along with the music of your harps.
        Maggots are spread out like a bed under you,
            and worms cover you.

12 How you have fallen from heaven, you morning star, son of the dawn!
    How you have been cut down to the ground, you conqueror of nations!

    I’ll sit on the mountain far away in the north
        where the gods assemble.

    “I will ascend(H) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(I)
