3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.
4 By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.
5 By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.
6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,
7 for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.
8 They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.
9 So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, 'I am God,' though you are a man, and not God?
