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),”

Ezekiel 28:3

Thou art wiser than Daniel - Daniel was at this time living, and was reputable for his great wisdom. This is said ironically. See Ezekiel 14:14; Ezekiel 26:1.
