Ezekiel 28:2-9

2“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: In your arrogance you say, “I’m a god. I sit on God’s throne in the sea.” But you’re only human and not a god, although you think you are a god.

3You think that you are wiser than Daniel and that no secret can be hidden from you.

4Because you are wise and understanding, you’ve made yourself rich. You saved gold and silver in your treasuries.

5Because of your great skill in trading, you’ve made yourself very wealthy. You have become arrogant because of your wealth.

6“ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: You think you are wise like God.

7That is why I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless foreigners among the nations. They will draw their swords against your fine wisdom and dishonor your greatness.

8They will throw you into a pit, and you will die a violent death in the sea.

9You will no longer say that you are a god when you face those who kill you. You will be a human, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you.
