^9 [a]The expression of their faces answers against them,
And they declare their sin like ^(A)Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have ^(B)dealt out evil on themselves.

“Because your heart is lofty
And you have said, ‘^(A)I am a god;
I sit enthroned in the seat of ^[a]gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a ^(B)man and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

⁹ Will you still say, “I am a god,”
In the presence of the one who kills you,
Though you are a man and not God,
In the hands of those who slay you?

¹⁷ Your heart was lofty because of your ^(A)beauty;
You ^(B)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I put you before ^(C)kings,
That they may see you.
