1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because your heart was haughty, and you said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of the gods, I sit in the heart of the seas!’ But you are a human, not a god, and you gave your heart to be like the heart of a god.
3 Look, are you wiser than Daniel, so that no secret is hidden from you?
4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gained for yourself wealth, and you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 By the abundance of your wisdom in your trading you have increased your wealth and your heart was proud in your wealth.” ’ ”
6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of your regarding your mind like the mind of a god,
7 therefore look! I am bringing strangers over you, the most ruthless of the peoples, and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor.
