Pensée juive sur Isaïe 14:12

אֵ֛יךְ נָפַ֥לְתָּ מִשָּׁמַ֖יִם הֵילֵ֣ל בֶּן־שָׁ֑חַר נִגְדַּ֣עְתָּ לָאָ֔רֶץ חוֹלֵ֖שׁ עַל־גּוֹיִֽם׃

Comme tu es tombé du ciel, astre brillant, fils de l’aurore! Comme tu as été renversé jusqu’à terre, dompteur des nations!

Duties of the Heart

(2) The humble man can bear it when troubles befall him or when reverses in his affairs occur to him due to his lowliness and humble spirit. But for the proud man, his fear will be great and his ability to bear will be little when hit by troubles because his soul is proud, his heart is haughty, and he is dissatisfied with his matters, as written by one who was in this way: "How have you fallen from heaven, oh morning star? You (Nebuchadnezar) have been cut down to earth, You who cast lots on nations" (Yeshaya 14:12).
