28The word of the Lord came to me: ²Mortal, 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 mortal, and no god, though you compare your mind with the mind of a god. ³You are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you; ⁴by your wisdom and your understanding you have amassed wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries. ⁵By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth. ⁶Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you compare your mind with the mind of a god, ⁷therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrible of the nations; they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. ⁸They shall thrust you down to the Pit, and you shall die a violent death in the heart of the seas. ⁹Will you still say, “I am a god,” in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a mortal, and no god, in the hands of those who wound you? ¹⁰You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, says the Lord God.
