¹² There they ^(A)cry out, but he does not answer,
    because of the pride of evil men.

^28 (A)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.’
^15 (A)But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the far reaches of the pit.
¹⁶ Those who see you will stare at you
    and ponder over you:
‘Is this ^(B)the man who made the earth tremble,
    who shook kingdoms,
¹⁷ who made the world like a desert
    and overthrew its cities,
    ^(C)who did not let his prisoners go home?’

⁶ Therefore pride is ^(A)their necklace;
    violence covers them as ^(B)a garment.
⁷ Their ^(C)eyes swell out through fatness;
    their hearts overflow with follies.
⁸ They scoff and ^(D)speak with malice;
    loftily they threaten oppression.

^41 (A)They cried for help, but there was none to save;
    they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
