14. I will ascend above the highest clouds;I will make myself like the Most High.”
15. But you will be brought down to Sheolinto the deepest regions of the Pit.
16. Those who see you will stare at you;they will look closely at you:“Is this the man who caused the earth to tremble,who shook the kingdoms,
17. who turned the world into a wilderness, who destroyed its citiesand would not release the prisoners to return home? ”
18. All the kings of the nationslie in splendor, each in his own tomb.
19. But you are thrown out without a grave,like a worthless branch,covered by those slain with the swordand dumped into a rocky pit like a trampled corpse.
20. You will not join them in burial,because you destroyed your landand slaughtered your own people.The offspring of evildoerswill never be remembered.
