Ezekiel 28:2-9

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 1god, I sit [in] the seat of 2God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not 3God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of 4God:

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 5God,

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 6God? but thou shalt be a man, and not 7God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.
