2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“Because your heart is alifted 1up,

And byou say, ‘I am a god,

I sit in the seat of gods,

cIn the midst of the seas,’

dYet you are a man, and not a god,

Though you set your heart as the heart of a god

3 (Behold, eyou are wiser than Daniel!

There is no secret that can be hidden from you!

4 With your wisdom and your understanding

You have gained friches for yourself,

And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;

5 gBy your great wisdom in trade 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 a god,

7 Behold, therefore, I will bring hstrangers against you,

iThe most terrible of the nations;

And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,

And defile your splendor.

8 They shall throw you down into the jPit,

And you shall die the death of the slain

In the midst of the seas.
