23:014:014 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the most High.
23:014:015 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit.
23:014:016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
23:014:017 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
23:014:018 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
every one in his own house.
23:014:019 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 the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
23:014:020 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou
hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of
evildoers shall never be renowned.
23:014:021 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their
fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill
the face of the world with cities.
23:014:022 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and
cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and
nephew, saith the LORD.
23:014:023 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of
water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith the LORD of hosts.
