2 “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!

4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries.

5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.
