Ezekiel 28:2-9

2SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the princeH5057 of TyreH6865, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Because thy heartH3820 is lifted up, and thou hast saidH559, I am a godH430, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of GodH430, in the midst of the seasH3220; yet thou art manH120, and not GodH430, though thou didst setH5414 thy heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430;—

3behold, thou art wiser than DanielH1840; there is no secretH5640 that is hidden from thee;

4by thy wisdomH2451 and by thine understandingH8394 thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten goldH2091 and silverH3701 into thy treasuresH214;

5by thy great wisdomH2451 and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heartH3824 is lifted up because of thy riches;—

6thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Because thou hast setH5414 thy heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430,

7thereforeH3651, behold, I will bringH935 strangersH2114 upon thee, the terrible of the nationsH1471; and they shall draw their swordsH2719 against the beautyH3308 of thy wisdomH2451, and they shall defile thy brightness.

8They shall bringH3381 thee downH3381 to the pitH7845; and thou shalt dieH4191 the deathH4191 of them that are slainH2491, in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220.

9Wilt thou yet sayH559 before him that slayeth thee, I am GodH430? but thou art manH120, and not GodH430, in the handH3027 of him that woundeth thee.
