⁶ Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens
    and their heads touch the clouds,

³ You have been deceived by your own pride
    because you live in a rock fortress
    and make your home high in the mountains.
‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’
    you ask boastfully.
⁴ But even if you soar as high as eagles
    and build your nest among the stars,
I will bring you crashing down,”
    says the Lord.

¹³ For you said to yourself,
    ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars.
I will preside on the mountain of the gods
    far away in the north.^[a]
14 I will climb to the highest heavens
    and be like the Most High.’

² “Even if they dig down to the place of the dead,^[a]
    I will reach down and pull them up.
Even if they climb up into the heavens,
    I will bring them down.
