2 Nephi 24:12-15

How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!

Art thou cut down to the ground,
which did weaken the nations!

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;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the Most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.
