Ezekiel:28:2-9
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Son of man ,
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 man ,
and no god ,
though you consider yourself as wise as a god --
*
you are indeed wiser than Daniel ;
no secret is hidden from you ;
*
by your wisdom and your understanding you have gotten wealth for yourself ,
and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries ;
*
by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth ,
and your heart has become proud in your wealth --
*
therefore thus says the Lord GOD : "
Because you consider yourself as wise as a god ,
*
therefore ,
behold ,
I will bring strangers upon you ,
the most terrible of the nations ;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor .
*
They shall thrust you down into the Pit ,
and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas .
*
Will you still say , `
I am a god ,'
in the presence of those who slay you ,
though you are but a man ,
and no god ,
in the hands of those who wound you ?
