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; ‡

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. ‡
