Ezekiel 28:5

Listen to Ezekiel 28:5
5 Par ta grande sagesse et par ton commerce Tu as accru tes richesses, Et par tes richesses ton coeur s'est élevé.

Ezekiel 28:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:5

By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic
Or, "by thy great wisdom in thy traffic" F9; through great skill in trade and commerce: hast thou increased thy riches;
to a very great degree, a prodigious bulk; so antichrist has done, especially through trafficking with the souls of men, which is one part of his merchandise, as it was of Tyre, ( Revelation 18:13 ) ( Ezekiel 27:13 ) : and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches;
which are apt to puff up and make men highminded, and swell them with a vain opinion of themselves, and to make haughty, insolent, and scornful, in their behaviour to others; thus elated with worldly grandeur and riches, the whore of Rome is represented as proud, vain, and haughty, ( Revelation 18:7 ) .

Ezekiel 28:5 In-Context

3 Voici, tu es plus sage que Daniel, Rien de secret n'est caché pour toi;
4 Par ta sagesse et par ton intelligence Tu t'es acquis des richesses, Tu as amassé de l'or et de l'argent Dans tes trésors;
5 Par ta grande sagesse et par ton commerce Tu as accru tes richesses, Et par tes richesses ton coeur s'est élevé.
6 C'est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Parce que tu prends ta volonté pour la volonté de Dieu,
7 Voici, je ferai venir contre toi des étrangers, Les plus violents d'entre les peuples; Ils tireront l'épée contre ton éclatante sagesse, Et ils souilleront ta beauté.
