1 The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
2 Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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 did 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 you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5 by your great wisdom [and] by your traffic have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches;-
6 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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.
