1. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord GOD Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thine heart as the heart of God:
3. behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4. by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5. by thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6. therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7. therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: 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 the deaths of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.
