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

    like the heart of a god,
therefore, behold, I will bring (C)foreigners upon you,
    the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against (D)the beauty of your wisdom
    and defile (E)your splendor.
(F)They shall thrust you down into the pit,
    (G)and you shall die the death of the slain
    in the heart of the seas.
