[28:1] The word of the Lord came to me:
[28:2] “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God: “Because your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,’ yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
[28:3] you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;
[28:4] by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
[28:5] by your great wisdom in your trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth—
[28:6] therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you make your heart like the heart of a god,
[28:7] therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you, the most ruthless of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.
[28:8] They shall thrust you down into the pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas.
[28:9] Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you?
[28:10] You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
