1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God: “Because your heart is proud,and you have said, ‘I am a god,I sit in the seat of the gods,in the heart of the seas,’yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 you are indeed wiser than Daniel;no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself,and have gathered gold and silverinto your treasuries;
5 by your great wisdom in your tradeyou have increased your wealth,and your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6 therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you make your heartlike the heart of a god,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,the most ruthless of the nations;and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdomand defile your splendor.
