5. by the greatness of thy wisdom in thy trafficking thou hast multiplied thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6. therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God,
7. behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the strong ones of the Gentiles, and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die of the death of those that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9. Wilt thou yet say before him that slays thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that slays thee.
10. Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken, said the Lord GOD.
