art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the
nations!
2 Nephi 24:13
13 For thou hast said in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I
will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north;
2 Nephi 24:14
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the Most High.
2 Nephi 24:15
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit.
2 Nephi 24:16
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and shall
consider thee, and shall say: Is this the man that made the earth
to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?
2 Nephi 24:17
17 And made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners?
2 Nephi 24:18
18 All the kings of the nations, yea, all of them, lie in glory,
