Ezekiel 28:3-9
Christian Standard Bible
3 Yes, you are wiser than Daniel;(A) no secret is hidden from you! 4 By your wisdom and understanding you have acquired wealth for yourself. You have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.(B) 5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth.
6 “‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
Because you regard your heart as that of a god,
7 I am about to bring strangers against you,
ruthless men from the nations.
They will draw their swords
against your magnificent wisdom
and will pierce your splendor.(C)
8 They will bring you down to the Pit,(D)
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the sea.
9 Will you still say, “I am a god,”
in the presence of those who slay[a] you?
Yet you will be only a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who kill you.
