Ezekiel 28:2-8
2“Son of man, say to the ▼▼Or ruler, prince
leader of Tyre, ‘The Lord ▼▼Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the ch
God says this: “Because your heart is haughty
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 emortal 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 haughty because of your riches-- 6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says:
‘Because you have jmade your heart
Like the heart of God,
7 Therefore, behold, I am going to bring kstrangers against you,
The lmost ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And profane your splendor.
8 ‘They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the mdeath of those who are killed
In the heart of the seas.
