ESVEnglish Standard Version

You said in your heart,

‘I will ascend to heaven;

above the stars of God

I will set my throne on high;

I will sit on the mount of assembly

in the far reaches of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High.’

But you are brought down to Sheol,

to the far reaches of the pit.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You said to yourself,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will set up my throne

above the stars of God.

I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,

in the remotest parts of the North.

I will ascend above the highest clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High.”

But you will be brought down to Sheol

into the deepest regions of the Pit.

NLTNew Living Translation

For you said to yourself,

‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars.

I will preside on the mountain of the gods

far away in the north.

I will climb to the highest heavens

and be like the Most High.’

Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead,

down to its lowest depths.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And you yourself said in your heart,

‘I will ascend to heaven;

I will raise up my throne above the stars of God;

and I will sit on the mountain of assembly

on the summit of Zaphon;

I will ascend to the high places of the clouds,

I will make myself like the Most High.’

But you are brought down to Sheol,

to the depths of the pit.

KJV 1900King James Version

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
