You won't find it.  It is a misinterpretation of Isaiah 14.  In
verse 12, the King James Version translates "Helel" as "Lucifer"
which is the Latin name for the planet Venus when it rises in the
morning.  If you read the passage in context you will see that
the reference was to the king of Babylon (verse 4).
