Ezekiel 28

Prophecy Against the Prince of Tyre

1The word of the Lord came to me: 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 make your heart like the heart of a god—

3 you are indeed wiser than Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;

4by your wisdom and your understanding
you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;

5by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and your heart has become proud in your wealth—

6therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you make your heart
like the heart of a god,

7therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,
the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom
and defile your splendor.

8 They shall thrust you down into the pit,
and you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though you are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
