1 The Lord spoke to me.
2 “Mortal man,” he said, “tell the ruler of Tyre what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to him: puffed up with pride, you claim to be a god. You say that like a god you sit on a throne, surrounded by the seas. You may pretend to be a god, but, no, you are mortal, not divine.
3 You think you are wiser than Danel, that no secret can be kept from you.
4 Your wisdom and skill made you rich with treasures of gold and silver.
5 You made clever business deals and kept on making profits. How proud you are of your wealth!
