ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Isaiah 14

Isaiah 14 is a part of the Bible that talks about a powerful leader who was very proud and thought he was better than everyone else. This leader was like a big star in the sky, shining very bright and making everyone look up to him. But he was also very mean to the people he ruled over and hurt them in many ways.

However, one day, this leader fell from his high position and became weak and powerless. He was very sad and angry about this, and he even said that he wanted to go back up to the sky and be like a big star again. But the people told him that he couldn't do that because he had been mean to them and hurt them too much.

The story of Isaiah 14 is trying to teach us that it's not good to be too proud and think we're better than everyone else. We should always be kind to others and treat them with respect, even if we're in a powerful position. And if we do make mistakes, we should apologize and try to make things right instead of trying to go back to how things were before.
