2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:“Because your heart is lifted up,And you say, ‘I am a god,I sit in the seat of gods,In the midst of the seas,’Yet you are a man, and not a god,Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
3 (Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!There is no secret that can be hidden from you!
4 With your wisdom and your understandingYou have gained riches for yourself,And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
5 By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you,The most terrible of the nations;And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,And defile your splendor.
8 They shall throw you down into the Pit,And you shall die the death of the slainIn the midst of the seas.
