1. Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2. Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3. behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
4. by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5. by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—
6. therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
