American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the {Greek: judgment.}condemnation of the devil.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations!
And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
