Ezekiel:28:2-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Son of man ,
say unto the prince of Tyrus ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thine heart is lifted up ,
and thou hast said ,
I am a God ,
I sit in the seat of God ,
in the midst of the seas ;
yet thou art a man ,
and not God ,
though thou set thine heart as the heart of God :
*
Behold ,
thou art wiser than Daniel ;
there is no secret that they can hide from thee :
*
With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches ,
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures :
*
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches ,
and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches :
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God ;
*
Behold ,
therefore I will bring strangers upon thee ,
the terrible of the nations :
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom ,
and they shall defile thy brightness .
*
They shall bring thee down to the pit ,
and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas .
*
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee ,
I am God ?
but thou shalt be a man ,
and no God ,
in the hand of him that slayeth thee .
*
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers :
for I have spoken it ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus ,
and say unto him ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Thou sealest up the sum ,
full of wisdom ,
and perfect in beauty .
