I got an email from Doug Muder, better known around these parts as
Pericles...
Somebody at jumpingfish did a poem on the fall of Bush and I was inspired to mix and match a few translations of Isaiah 14.
So he suggested that I go to work on an accompanying image. Here, for your pleasure (or righteous indignation)...

More from Pericles:
Interesting historical sidenote: The original is a gloating poem over the fall of a Babylonian king. When writing the Vulgate translation of the Old Testament into Latin, St. Jerome used the Latin name of the morning star: "Lucifer". Later Christians read the poem as being about the fall of the rebellious angel who rose against God. (Parts of the poem that I edited out talk about trying to rival the Most High.) And that is how the Devil got his name.
