13. You thought,“I’ll go up to heaven and set up my throne above God’s stars.I’ll sit on the mountain far away in the northwhere the gods assemble.
14. I’ll go above the top of the clouds.I’ll be like the Most High.”
15. But you’ve been brought down to Sheol,to the deepest part of the pit.
16. Those who see you stare at you; they look at you closely and say,“Is this the man who made the earth tremble,who shook the kingdoms,
17. who made the world like a desert and tore down its cities,who didn’t let his prisoners go home?”
18. All the kings of the nations, all of them,have been buried with honor, each in his own tomb.
