4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself;you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 By your great skill in trade you have increased your wealth,and your heart is proud because of your wealth.
6 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:Because you think you are godlike,
7 I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,and they will defile your splendor.
8 They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently in the heart of the seas.
9 Will you still say, “I am a god,” before the one who kills you – though you are a man and not a god – when you are in the power of those who wound you?
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners;for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”
