1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God:Because you are haughty of heart,you say, “I am a god!I sit on a god’s thronein the heart of the sea!”But you are a man, not a god;yet you pretendyou are a god at heart!
3 Oh yes, you are wiser than Daniel,nothing secret is too obscure for you!
4 By your wisdom and intelligenceyou made yourself rich,filling your treasuries with gold and silver.
5 Through your great wisdom in tradingyou heaped up riches for yourself—your heart is haughty because of your riches.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord God:Because you pretend you are a god at heart,
7 Therefore, I will bring against youstrangers, the most bloodthirsty of nations.They shall draw their swordsagainst your splendid wisdom,and violate your radiance.
