4 Through your wisdom and understandingyou have made yourself rich.You have gained gold and silver.And you have saved it in your storerooms.
5 Through your great skill in trading,you have made your riches grow.You are too proudbecause of your riches.
6 “‘So this is what the Lord God says:You think you are wiselike a god.
7 But I will bring foreign people against you.They will be the cruelest nation.They will pull out their swordsand destroy all that your wisdom has built.And they will dishonor your greatness.
8 They will kill you.You will die a terrible deathlike those who are killed at sea.
9 While they are killing you,you will not be able to say anymore, “I am a god.”You will be only a man, not a god,when your murderers kill you.
10 You will die like an unclean person.Foreigners will kill you.I have spoken, says the Lord God.’”
