Ezekiel 28:2-8

2 “Son of man, say to the ^{▼▼ Or ruler, prince}leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord ^{▼▼ Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord , and so throughout the ch}God, “Because your heart is lifted up
And you have said, ‘ ^cI am a god,
I sit in the seat of ^{▼▼ Or God}gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a ^eman and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
3 Behold, you are wiser than ^fDaniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you.
4 “By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired ^griches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 “By your great wisdom, by your ^htrade
You have increased your riches
And your ⁱheart is lifted up because of your riches—

6 Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Because you have ^jmade your heart
Like the heart of God,
7 Therefore, behold, I will bring ^kstrangers upon you,
The ^lmost ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.
8 ‘They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the ^mdeath of those who are slain
In the heart of the seas.
