Tyre’s King Overthrown

1 The word° of the LORD° came° again to me, saying°, 2 “Son° of man°, say° to the Ileader° of Tyre°, ‘Thus° says° the Lord° IIGOD°,
  “Because° your heart° is lifted° up
  And you have said°, ‘aI am a god°,
  I sit° in the seat° of IIIgods°
  In the heart° of the seas°’;
  Yet you are a bman° and not God°,
  Although you make° your heart° like the heart° of God°
  3 Behold°, you are wiser° than° aDaniel°;
  There is no°° secret° that is a match° for you.
  4 “By your wisdom° and understanding°
  You have acquired° ariches° for yourself
  And have acquired° gold° and silver° for your treasuries°.
  5 “By your great° wisdom°, by your atrade°
  You have increased° your riches°
  And your bheart° is lifted° up because of your riches°
6 Therefore° thus° says° the Lord° GOD°,
  ‘Because° you have amade° your heart°

  9 ‘Will you still° say°, “I am a god°,”
  In the presence° of your slayer°,
  Though you are a man° and not God°,
  In the hands° of those who wound° you?

God's judgment upon the prince of Tyrus for his sacrilegious pride.

1 ¶ The wordº of the LORDº came² again unto² me, saying,ºª 2 Sonº of man,º sayºª unto the princeº of Tyrus,º Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Because² thine heartº [is] lifted up,ºª and thou hast said,ºª I² [am] a God,º I sitºª [in] the seatº of God,º in the midstº of the seas;º yet thou² [art] a man,º and not² God,º though thou setºª thine heartº as the heartº of God:º 3 Behold,² thou² [art] wiserº than Daniel;º² there is no² secretºª that they can hideºª from thee: 4 With thy wisdomº and with thine understandingº thou hast gottenºª thee riches,º and hast gottenºª goldº and silverº into thy treasures:º 5 By thy greatº wisdomº [and] by thy traffickº hast thou increasedºª thy riches,º and thine heartº is lifted upºª because of thy riches:º 6 Therefore² thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Because² thou hast setºª² thine heartº as the heart¹² of God;º 7 Behold,² therefore² I will bringºª strangersºª upon² thee, the terribleº of the nations:º and they shall drawºª their swordsº against² the beautyº of thy wisdom,º and they shall defileºª thy brightness.º 8 They shall bring thee downºª to the pit,º and thou shalt dieºª the deathsº of [them that are] slainº in the midstº of the seas.º 9 Wilt thou yet¹ª sayºª beforeº him that slayethºª thee, I² [am] God?º but thou² [shalt be] a man,º and no² God,º in the handº of him that slayethºª thee. 10 Thou shalt dieºª the deathsº of the uncircumcisedº by the handº of strangers:ºª for² I² have spokenºª [it], saithºª the Lordº GOD.º
