Ezekiel 28:2-9

2“Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign Lord: “In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.

3You regard yourself as wiser than Daniel and think no secret is hidden from you.

4With your wisdom and understanding you have amassed great wealth— gold and silver for your treasuries.

5Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich, and your riches have made you very proud.

6“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you think you are as wise as a god,

7I will now bring against you a foreign army, the terror of the nations. They will draw their swords against your marvelous wisdom and defile your splendor!

8They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die in the heart of the sea, pierced with many wounds.

9Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’ to those who kill you? To them you will be no god but merely a man!
