Exo 9:17, Pro 30:13, Isa 10:13-15, 14:13-14, Eze 28:2, 9, Dan 5:20-23 | ESV | STEP | You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go .

13 ^cFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
15 Shall ^dthe axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!

Isaiah 14:13-14

13 You said in your heart,
^e‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
^fI 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}
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’

Ezekiel 28:2

2 ^h“Son of man, say to ⁱthe prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

^j“Because your heart is proud,
and ^kyou have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet ^lyou are but a man, and no god,
^mthough you make your heart like the heart of a god—

Ezekiel 28:9

9 ⁿWill you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though ^oyou are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?

Daniel 5:20-23

20 But ^pwhen his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, ^qhe was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 ^rHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, ^suntil he knew that the ^tMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son, ^{▼▼Or successor} ^vBelshazzar, ^whave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^xthe Lord of heaven. And ^ythe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ^zAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^aabut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^abwhose are all your ways, ^acyou have not honored.
