4
Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine knowledge or thine prudence, and gold and silver in thy treasures?
5
By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.
6
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the hart of God;
7
because of this, behold, I bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,
8
and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
