14. I will go up above the tops of the clouds.I will be like God Most High.”
15. But you were brought down to the grave,to the deep places where the dead are.
16. Those who see you stare at you.They think about what has happened to youand say, “Is this the same man who caused great fear on earth,who shook the kingdoms,
17. who turned the world into a desert,who destroyed its cities,who captured people in warand would not let them go home?”
18. Every king of the earth has been buried with honor,each in his own grave.
19. But you are thrown out of your grave,like an unwanted branch.You are covered by bodiesthat died in battle,by bodies to be buried in a rocky pit.You are like a dead body other soldiers walk on.
