Corrupt bibles, "Morning Star" in Isaiah 14:12

Isaiah 14:
[4] That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
[5] The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
[6] He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
[7] The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
[8] Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
[9] Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
[10] All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
[11] Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
[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.
[16] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
[17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners
?

"Lucifer" (vs 12) is the KJB translation of the Hebrew word "hĂȘlĂȘl". The word "Lucifer" is one of the English words for Satan, the word itself being derived from the Latin bibles. The word as an adjective, as used in Isaiah 14:12, means "light bringing".

Satan falls from heaven as lightning and he also transforms himself into an angel of light (a false light).

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore "Lucifer" (adj. "light bringing") is an adequate description of Satan.

There are many angels of God, yet there is only one "THE angel of the Lord" and that is Jesus Christ (Gen. 48:16, Exod. 3:2-6, 23:20-23, 32:34, Acts 27:23, Gal. 4:14). There are many sons of God (Gen. 6:2-4, Job 1:6, 2:1), but there is only one "THE Son of God" (Dan. 3:25, John 20:31). There are many "morning stars" (Job 38:7, Rev. 1:20) but there is only one "THE bright and morning star" (Rev. 22:16, Num. 24:17, Mal. 4:2). At least that is how it is in the REAL Bible, the KJB. But look at how the modern perversions have freely given Christ's titles to Satan.

Note: Day Star is another one of Christ's names: "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:" (2 Pet. 1:19)

Why would you use a "bible" that gives Christ's names to Satan? (Deut. 4:2, Prov. 30:5-6, Jer. 23:30, Jer. 23:36, 2 Cor. 2:17, 2 Cor. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19)
