1. The Lord’s word came to me:
2. Human one, say to the prince of Tyre, The Lord God proclaims: In your arrogance, you say, "I am God, and as God I rule the seas!" Though you claim to have the mind of a god, you are mortal, not divine.
3. You are certainly wiser than Daniel; no secrets are hidden from you.
4. By your wisdom and discernment, you made yourself rich, and you filled your storehouses with silver and gold.
5. Through your shrewd trading you multiplied your riches. But then you became proud of your riches.
6. So now the Lord God proclaims: Because you claim to have the mind of a god,
7. I’ll bring foreigners, the most ruthless nations, against you. They will let loose their swords against your fine wisdom, and they will degrade your splendor.
