1. the Lord’s word came again to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:“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 wisdomand by your trading 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 God,
7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,the terrible of the nations.They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.They will defile your brightness.
8. They will bring you down to the pit.You will die the death of those who are slainin the heart of the seas.
9. Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?But you are man, and not God,in the hand of him who wounds you.
10. You will die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of strangers;for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
