And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 28:2 |
“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, ‘I am God, and I sit in the chair of God, in the heart of the sea,’ though you are a man, and not God, and because you have presented your heart as if it were the heart of God: |
| 28:3 |
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you. |
| 28:4 |
By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses. |
| 28:5 |
By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength. |
| 28:6 |
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God, |
| 28:7 |
for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty. |
| 28:8 |
They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea. |
| 28:9 |
So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God? |
| 28:10 |
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.” |
