- "Sonª of man,ª take upª° a lamentationª upon¹ the kingª of Tyrus,ª and sayª° unto him, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Thou¹ sealest upª° the sum,ª fullª of wisdom,ª and perfectª in beauty.ª ... Thine heartª was lifted upª° because of thy beauty,ª thou hast corruptedª° thy wisdomª by reason ofª thy brightness:ª I will castª° thee to¹ the ground,ª I will layª° thee beforeª kings,ª that they may beholdª° thee." {Ezk 28:12-17} + "Though¹ they digª° into hell,ª thence¹¹ shall mine handª takeª° them; though¹ they climb upª° to heaven,ª thence¹¹ will I bring them down:ª° ... And though¹ they go²°¹ into captivityª beforeª their enemies,ª° thence¹¹ will I commandª°¹ the sword,ª and it shall slayª° them: and I will setª° mine eyesª upon¹ them for evil,ª and not¹ for good.ª" {Ams 9:2-4} + "Though¹ thou exaltª° [thyself] as the eagle,ª and though¹ thou setª° thy nestª among¹ the stars,ª thence¹¹ will I bring thee down,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Oba 1:4}
