“I'll climb to heaven
and place my throne
above the highest stars.
I'll sit there with the gods
far away in the north.
14 I'll be above the clouds,
just like God Most High.”
15 But now you are deep
in the world of the dead.

“I will ascend(A) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(B)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(C)
on the utmost heights(D) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(E)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(F)
15 But you are brought down(G) to the realm of the dead,(H)
to the depths(I) of the pit.(J)
