2 “Human, say to the ruler of Tyre: ‘This is what the Lord God says:Because you are proud,you say, “I am a god.I sit on the throne of a godin the middle of the seas.”You think you are as wise as a god,but you are a human, not a god.
3 You think you are wiser than Daniel.You think you can find out all secrets.
4 Through your wisdom and understandingyou have made yourself rich.You have gained gold and silverand 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,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.
