3 You think that you are wiser than Danieland that no secret can be hidden from you.
4 Because you are wise and understanding,you’ve made yourself rich.You saved gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 Because of your great skill in trading,you’ve made yourself very wealthy.You have become arrogant because of your wealth.
6 “‘This is what the Almighty Lord says:You think you are wise like God.
7 That is why I am going to bring foreigners against you,the most ruthless foreigners among the nations.They will draw their swords against your fine wisdomand dishonor your greatness.
8 They will throw you into a pit,and you will die a violent death in the sea.
9 You will no longer say that you are a godwhen you face those who kill you.You will be a human, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you.
