13 For you have said in your heart,“I will ascend into heaven,I will exalt my throneabove the stars of God;I will sit also on the mount of the congregation,in the recesses of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,I will be like the Most High.”
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Hell,to the sides of the pit.
16 Those who see you shall stare at youand ponder over you:“Is this the man who made the earthto tremble and shook kingdoms,
17 who made the world as a wildernessand destroyed its cities,who did not open the house of his prisoners?”
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,each one in his own tomb;
19 but you are cast out of your gravelike an abominable branchand clothed with those who are slain,thrust through with a sword,who go down to the stones of the pitas a corpse trodden underfoot.
