13You said in your heart,u‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
vI will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; ▼
▼Or in the remote parts of Zaphon
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 xBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.

and ponder over you:
‘Is this ythe man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,
17who made the world like a desert
and overthrew its cities,
zwho did not let his prisoners go home?’
