1 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2 "Son of man, speak to Ethbaal. He is the ruler of Tyre. Tell him, 'The Lord and King says, " ' "In your proud heart you say, 'I am a god. I sit on the throne of a god in the Mediterranean Sea.' But you are only a man. You are not a god. In spite of that, you think you are as wise as a god.
3 Are you wiser than Daniel? Isn't even one secret hidden from you?
4 You are wise and understanding. So you have become very wealthy. You have piled up gold and silver among your treasures.
5 You have used your great skill in trading to increase your wealth. You are very rich. So your heart has become proud." ' "
6 The Lord and King says, "You think you are wise. In fact, you claim to be as wise as a god.
