4 By your wisdom and understandingyou have acquired wealth for yourself.You have acquired gold and silverfor your treasuries.
5 By your great skill in tradingyou have increased your wealth,but your heart has become proudbecause of your wealth.”
6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says:Because you regard your heart as that of a god,
7 I am about to bring strangers against you,ruthless men from the nations.They will draw their swordsagainst your magnificent wisdomand will defile your splendor.
8 They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent deathin the heart of the sea.
9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’in the presence of those who kill you?Yet you will be only a man, not a god,in the hands of those who kill you.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of strangers. For I have spoken.This is the declaration of the Lord God.
