Isaiah 14:4-15

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Isaiah 14:4-15

4you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon:
How the oppressor has ceased,
and how his fury has ended!
5The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked,
the scepter of the rulers.
6It struck the peoples in anger
with unceasing blows;
it subdued the nations in rage
with relentless persecution.
7All the earth is at peace and at rest;
they break out in song.
8Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon
exult over you:
“Since you have been laid low,
no woodcutter comes against us.”
9Sheol beneath is eager
to meet you upon your arrival.
It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you —
all the rulers of the earth.
It makes all the kings of the nations
rise from their thrones.
10They will all respond to you, saying,
“You too have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us!”
11Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol,
along with the music of your harps.
Maggots are your bed
and worms your blanket.
12How you have fallen from heaven,
O day star, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the ground,
O destroyer of nations.
13You said in your heart:
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God.
I will sit on the mount of assembly,
in the far reaches of the north.
14I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15But you will be brought down to Sheol,
to the lowest depths of the Pit.
— Isaiah 14:4-15
