Ezekiel 28:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2. “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because your heart was haughty, and you said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of the gods, I sit in the heart of the seas!’ But you are a human, not a god, and you gave your heart to be like the heart of a god.

3. Look, are you wiser than Daniel, so that no secret is hidden from you?

4. By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gained for yourself wealth, and you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.

5. By the abundance of your wisdom in your trading you have increased your wealth and your heart was proud in your wealth.” ’ ”
