1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god I sit in the seat of God in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not ·God) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God
3. behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee;
4. by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
5. by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.
6. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God
7. therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.
