1. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
2. “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘So your heart is exalted and you say, “I am a god! I sit in the seat of the gods in the heart of the seas!” Yet you are human, not a god, even if you set up your heart like the heart of a god.
3. See, you are wiser than Daniel! No secret is hidden from you!
4. By your wisdom and by understanding you have made wealth for yourself and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries.
5. In your great skill, by your trade, you have increased your wealth, so your heart is exalted by your wealth.’”
6. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because you have set up your heart like the heart of God,
7. behold, I will bring strangers against you, the ruthless of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your splendor.
8. They will bring you down to the Pit. You will die the death of those slain in the heart of the seas.
9. Will you still say, ‘I am a god’ before the one who slays you? Yet you are man, and not a god, in the hand of those who pierce you.
10. You will die the deaths of the uncircumcised at the hand of strangers. For I have spoken.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
