Verse 12

- O Lucifer, son of the morning!
- How you are cut down to the ground,
- You who weakened the nations!"[7]
- "Lucifer" - 'Day-star' (הילל hēylēl, from הלל hâlal, "to shine"). The word in Hebrew occurs as a noun nowhere else. In two other places Ezekiel 21:12; Zechariah 11:2, it is used as a verb in the imperative mood of Hiphil, and is translated 'howl' from the verb ילל yālal, "to howl" or "cry." Gesenius and Rosenmuller suppose that it should be so rendered here. Noyes renders it, 'Howl, son of the morning!'. The Septuagint renders it, Ἑωσφόρος Heōsphoros, and Jerome in the Vulgate, 'Lucifer, the morning star.' The Chaldee, 'How art thou fallen from high, who wert splendid among the sons of men.'[8][9] The title "day star" truly belonging to Christ (Revelation 22:16), "the bright and morning star," and therefore hereafter to be assumed by Antichrist.[10]
