Isaiah
Isaiah 14:9–10
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!”
