Ezekiel:28:2-9
rsv@Ezekiel:28:2 @ "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--
rsv@Ezekiel:28:3 @ you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;
rsv@Ezekiel:28:4 @ by your wisdom and your understanding you have gotten wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
rsv@Ezekiel:28:5 @ by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth--
rsv@Ezekiel:28:6 @ therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you consider yourself as wise as a god,
rsv@Ezekiel:28:7 @ 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.
rsv@Ezekiel:28:8 @ They shall thrust you down into the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas.
rsv@Ezekiel:28:9 @ 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?
