1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because thy heart has lifted thee up and thou hast said, I am God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas (yet thou art man, and not God); and thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God: 3 behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4 with thy wisdom and with thine intelligence thou hast gotten thee riches and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 5 by the greatness of thy wisdom in thy trafficking thou hast multiplied thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6 therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God, 7 behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the strong ones of the Gentiles, and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die of the death of those that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slays thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that slays thee. 10 Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken, said the Lord GOD.
