Ezekiel 28:3-13 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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.’”

11. Moreover the Lord’s word came to me, saying,

12. “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:“You were the seal of full measure,full of wisdom,and perfect in beauty.

13. You were in Eden,the garden of God.Every precious stone adorned you:ruby, topaz, emerald,chrysolite, onyx, jasper,sapphire, turquoise, and beryl.Gold work of tambourinesand of pipes was in you.They were prepared in the day that you were created.
