Ezekiel 28:2–10

²Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a •god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not •God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: ³behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee; ⁴by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; ⁵by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches. ⁶Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, ⁷therefore 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 tarnish thy brightness. ⁸They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas. ⁹Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not •God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee. ¹⁰Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
