" How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning.For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'" Isaiah 14 reveals the fall of Lucifer from the heights of heaven, which resulted in his status as the creature that he is today: Lucifer became prideful, believing that he deserved more than what he already had.
