How art thou fallen from heaven
O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cast down to the ground,
That didst cast lots over the nations!
And thou saidst in thy heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
Above the stars of God (El)
Will I exalt my throne;
And I will sit upon the mount of meeting,
In the uttermost parts of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the Most High.’
Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world,
To the uttermost parts of the pit.”
