Ezekiel 28:2–9

²‘Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I am, The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou art man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God, ³Lo, thou art wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee. ⁴By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries. ⁵By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth. ⁶Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God, ⁷Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness. ⁸To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas. ⁹Dost thou really say, ‘I am God,’ Before him who is slaying thee? And thou art man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.
