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.
9 “Will you still say before him who slays you,‘I am a god’?But you shall be a man, and not a god,In the hand of him who slays you.
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcisedBy the hand of aliens;For I have spoken,” says the Lord God.’ ”
