‘I will (A)ascend to heaven;
I will (B)raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
(C)I will make myself like the Most High.’

  1. Isaiah 14:13 Or of the north; Zaphon was the most sacred mountain of the Canaanites.

The (A)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of [a]the (B)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
(C)Who will bring me down to earth?’
Though you (D)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (E)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

The pride(A) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](B)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(C)
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest(D) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)
