6. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have set your heartas the heart of God,
7. therefore, I will bring strangers upon you,the most cruel of the nations;and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,and defile your brightness.
8. They shall bring you down to the pit,and you shall die the death of those who are slainin the midst of the seas.

10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of strangers;for I have spoken! says the Lord God.

12. Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: You had the seal of perfection,full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
