9 Hell from beneath is embittered on meeting thee; there were roused up together for thee all the giants that did rule the earth, that roused from their thrones all kings of the nations;

10 All shall answer and say to thee, Thou also art taken, as we also were; and art reckoned among us.

11 But down to hell hath thy glory come, thy plentiful joy; under thee shall they spread decay, and a worm is thy covering.

12 How is Lucifer, that riseth early, fallen out of heaven! he is crushed into the earth, that sent forth unto all the nations.

13 But thou saidst in thy heart, Up to heaven ‘will I go, above the stars of heaven will I set my throne; I will sit on a high mountain, above the high’hills toward the north,

14 I will go up above the clouds, I will be like the most High.

15 But now shalt thou go down’into hell, and into the foundations of the earth.

16 They that see thee shall marvel at thee, and say, This is the man that tortureth the earth, shaking kings,

17 He that maketh the whole world desolate, <and his cities hath he destroyed,> those in (his) train hath he not loosed;

18 All the kings of the nations have lain down to rest in honour, each one in his own house:

19 But thou shalt be cast forth upon the mountains, like a loathed corpse; with many dead, that are thrust through with swords, that go down to Hell. Even as a cloke smeared with blood shall not be clean,

20 Even so‘neither shalt thou be clean, because thou didst" destroy my land, and didst slay my peOple; thou shalt not abide, no, not for ever, an evil seed.
