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. ‡
