Ezekiel 28:1-10 (Holman Christian Standard)
The Fall of Tyre's Ruler
1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre: This is what the Lord God says: Youra heart is proud, and you have said: I am a god;b I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea. Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god. 3 Yes, you are wiser than Daniel;c no secret is hidden from you! 4 By your wisdom and understanding you have acquired wealth for yourself. You have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries. 5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth." 6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Because you regard your heart as that of a god, 7 I am about to bring strangersd against you, ruthless men from the nations. They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will defile your splendor.e 8 They will bring you down to the Pit,f and you will die a violent death in the heart of the sea. 9 Will you still say: I am a god, in the presence of those who killg you?h Yet you will be [shown to be] a man, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you. 10 You will die the death of the uncircumcisedi at the hands of strangers.j For I have spoken.
