Judgment Against the Prince of Tyre

1

the LORD’s word came again to me, saying,

2

Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—

3

behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;

4

by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;

5

by your great wisdom and by your traffic 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 God,

7

therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.

8

They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

9

Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am God? but you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

10

You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
