## In Jewish tradition

Isaiah says the proud king of Babylon, with all his show and music, will go down to the grave and lie among worms.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads this as showing that earthly power does not last, and that pride leads to a fall.

### Examples

- Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Prophets ISA.14.11, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/pomp/#x1)
