This sounds eerily familiar, oh yeah, I’ve read this somewhere before:
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine 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:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Is. 14:12-14.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Prov. 16:18
“The devil… the proud spirit.. cannot endure to be mocked.”
       —Thomas More.
