Ezekiel 28:2-9

2SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the princeH5057 of TyreH6865, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Because thine heartH3820 is lifted upH1361, and thou hast saidH559, I am a GodH410, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of GodH430, in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220; yet thou art a manH120, and not GodH410, though thou setH5414 thine heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430:1

3Behold, thou art wiserH2450 than DanielH1840; there is no secretH5640 that they can hideH6004 from thee:

4With thy wisdomH2451 and with thine understandingH8394 thou hast gottenH6213 thee richesH2428, and hast gottenH6213 goldH2091 and silverH3701 into thy treasuresH214:

5By thy greatH7230 wisdomH2451 and by thy traffickH7404 hast thou increasedH7235 thy richesH2428, and thine heartH3824 is lifted upH1361 because of thy richesH2428:2

6Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Because thou hast setH5414 thine heartH3820 as the heartH3824 of GodH430;

7Behold, therefore I will bringH935 strangersH2114 upon thee, the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471: and they shall drawH7324 their swordsH2719 against the beautyH3308 of thy wisdomH2451, and they shall defileH2490 thy brightnessH3314.

8They shall bring thee downH3381 to the pitH7845, and thou shalt dieH4191 the deathsH4463 of them that are slainH2491 in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220.

9Wilt thou yetH559 sayH559 beforeH6440 him that slayethH2026 thee, I am GodH430? but thou shalt be a manH120, and no godH410, in the handH3027 of him that slayethH2490 thee.3
