‘I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.

I will make myself like the Most High.’

To the recesses of the pit.

When the glory of his house is increased;

His glory will not descend after him.

And though men praise you when you do well for yourself-
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
20 Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.
