Isaiah 14:
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.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.

One might argue that in context, Isaiah is referring to the King of Babylon as “Lucifer” ... or warning the King that he is about to suffer Lucifer’s fate.

Thanks. Been a while since I read Isaiah (long, tough read....).

There is more in Revelation and Job and the extra biblical book of Enoch about the rebellion.
