Eze 28:2-10, Dan 4:37, 5:22-24, Mal 4:1, Luk 14:11, 18:14, Jam 4:6 | ESV | STEP | Son of man , say to the prince of Tyre , Thus says the Lord God : Because your heart is proud , and you have said , I am a god , I sit in the seat of the gods , in the heart of the seas , yet you are but a man , and no god , though you make your heart like the heart of a god

2 ^a“Son of man, say to ^bthe prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

^c“Because your heart is proud,
and ^dyou have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet ^eyou are but a man, and no god,
^fthough you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 ^gyou are indeed wiser ^hthan ⁱDaniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
^jyou have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and ^kyour heart has become proud in your wealth—
6 therefore thus says the Lord God:
^lBecause you make your heart
like the heart of a god,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring ^mforeigners upon you,
the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against ⁿthe beauty of your wisdom
and defile ^oyour splendor.
8 ^pThey shall thrust you down into the pit,
^qand you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.
9 ^rWill you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though ^syou are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?
10 ^tYou shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
^ufor I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”

Daniel 4:37

37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, ^vpraise and extol and honor the ^wKing of heaven, ^xfor all his works are right and his ways are just; and ^ythose who walk in pride he is able to humble.

Daniel 5:22-24

22 And you his son, ^{▼▼Or successor} ^aaBelshazzar, ^abhave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^acthe Lord of heaven. And ^adthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ^aeAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^afbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^agwhose are all your ways, ^ahyou have not honored.

24 “Then from his presence ^aithe hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.

Malachi 4:1

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew} “For behold, ^akthe day is coming, ^alburning like an oven, when ^amall the arrogant and ^anall evildoers ^aowill be stubble. The day that is coming ^apshall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
