    though lofty, he sees them^(B) from afar.

⁹ The look on their faces testifies^(A) against them;
    they parade their sin like Sodom;^(B)
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    They have brought disaster^(C) upon themselves.

“‘In the pride of your heart
    you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne^(B) of a god
    in the heart of the seas.”^(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
    though you think you are as wise as a god.^(D)

⁹ Will you then say, “I am a god,”
    in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,^(A)
    in the hands of those who slay you.^(B)

¹⁷ Your heart became proud^(A)
    on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
    because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
    I made a spectacle of you before kings.^(B)
