1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—

3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.

4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.

5 By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

6 “‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.

8 They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
