12. “How you have fallen from the heavens, O Hĕlĕl, son of the morning! You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the gentiles!
13. “For you have said in your heart, ‘Let me go up to the heavens, let me raise my throne above the stars of Ěl, and let me sit in the mount of meeting on the sides of the north;
14. let me go up above the heights of the clouds, let me be like the Most High.’

17. who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who would not open the house of his prisoners?’
