And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, So says the Lord Jehovah, Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of theseas; yet you are a man, and not God,though you give your heart as the heart of gods.

Behold, you are wiser than Daniel. Every one of the secret things are not hidden to you.

With your wisdom and with your understanding you have made riches for yourself, and have worked gold and silver into your treasuries.

By your great wisdom, by your trade you have multiplied your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.

So the Lord Jehovah says this: Because you have given your heart as the heart of gods,

behold, so I will bring on you awesome strangers of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.

They will cause you to go down to the Pit, and you shall die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.

Saying, do you say, I am of the gods before him who strikes you? But you are a man, and not God, in the hands of him who pierces you.

You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken, says the Lord Jehovah.
