3Lo, thou [art] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee.
4By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries.
5By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth.
6Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God,
7Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness.
8To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.
9Dost thou really say, `I [am] God,` Before him who is slaying thee? And thou [art] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.
