11 Thy pride is drawn down to hells, thy dead carrion fell down (Thy pride is drawn down to Sheol, or the land of the dead, thy corpses fell down); a moth shall be strewed under thee, and thy covering shall be worms.

12 A! Lucifer, that risedest early, how fellest thou down from heaven; thou that woundedest folks, felledest down (al)together into [the] earth. (O! Lucifer, who risedest up early, how thou hast fallen down from heaven; thou who hast wounded the nations, fell down to the ground.)

13 Which saidest in thine heart, I shall ascend into heaven, I shall enhance my seat above the stars of (the) heaven(s); I shall sit in the hill of (the) testament, in the sides of the north. (Who saidest in thy heart, I shall ascend into heaven, I shall exalt, or I shall set, my throne above the stars of the heavens; I shall sit on the mountain where the gods meet, on the sides of the north.)

11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(A)
    along with the noise of your harps;(B)

    morning star,(F) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
    you who once laid low the nations!(G)

    “I will ascend(H) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(I)
    above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(J)
    on the utmost heights(K) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
