2. “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘Your heart is proud and you said, “I am a god;I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas” – yet you are a man and not a god, though you think you are godlike.

7. I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,and they will defile your splendor.
8. They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently in the heart of the seas.

10. You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners;for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”
