10 You felt (A)secure in your evil and said,
‘(B)No one sees me,’
Your (C)wisdom and your knowledge [a]have turned you astray;
So you have said in your heart,

Legacy Standard Bible
3 Behold, you are wiser than (A)Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you.
4 By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired (B)wealth for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 By your great wisdom, by your (C)trade
You have increased your wealth,
And your (D)heart is lofty because of your wealth—
6 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh,
‘Because you have (E)made your heart
Like the heart of God,
7 Therefore, behold, I will bring (F)strangers upon you,
The (G)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.
