12 How you have (A)fallen from heaven,
You [a](B)star of the morning, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth,
You who defeated the nations!
13 But you said in your heart,
‘I will (C)ascend to heaven;
I will (D)raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
(E)I will make myself like the Most High.’

12 How you have fallen(A) from heaven,
    morning star,(B) son of the dawn!

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]

  1. Isaiah 14:13 Or of the north; Zaphon was the most sacred mountain of the Canaanites.

14 You were the (A)anointed cherub who [a]covers,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy (B)mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the (C)stones of fire.
15 You were (D)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until (E)unrighteousness was found in you.
16 By the (F)abundance of your trade
[b]You were internally (G)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, you [c]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was haughty because of your (H)beauty;
You (I)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I threw you to the ground;
I put you before (J)kings,
That they may see you.
18 By the multitude of your wrongdoings,
In the unrighteousness of your trade
You profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought (K)fire from the midst of you;
It has consumed you,
And I have turned you to (L)ashes on the earth
In the eyes of all who see you.

14 You were anointed(A) as a guardian cherub,(B)
    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,(C)
    and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
    and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(D)
    from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(E)
    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.(F)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(G) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(H) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.(I)
