14  bI will ascend above the heights of the clouds; eI will be like the most High.

15  Yet fthou shalt be brought down to hell, to gthe sides of the pit.

16  They that see thee shall hnarrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying,

Is this the man that imade the earth to tremble, that idid shake kingdoms;

17  That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof;

That ||opened not the house of his prisoners?

18  All the kings of the nations, even all of them,

Lie in glory, every one kin his own house.

19  But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,

And as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword,

That go down to gthe stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20  lThou shalt not be joined with them in burial,

Because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people:

mThe seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21  Prepare slaughter for his children nfor the iniquity of their fathers;

oThat they do not rise, nor possess the land,

Nor fill the face of the world with cities.
