Proclamation Against the King of Tyre

1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Because your heart is alifted up,
And byou say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
cIn the midst of the seas,’
dYet you are a man, and not a god,
Though you set your heart as the heart of a god 
3 (Behold, ayou are wiser than Daniel!
There is no secret that can be hidden from you! 
4 With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained ariches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; 
5 aBy your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”  
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring astrangers against you,
bThe most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor. 
8 They shall throw you down into the aPit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas. 
9 “Will you still asay before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you. 
10 You shall die the death of athe uncircumcised
By the hand of aliens;
For I have spoken,” says the Lord God.’ ”
