(C)“Because your heart is proud,
and (D)you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet (E)you are but a man, and no god,
(F)though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 (G)you are indeed wiser (H)than (I)Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
(J)you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and (K)your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6 therefore thus says the Lord God:
(L)Because you make your heart
like the heart of a god,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring (M)foreigners upon you,
the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against (N)the beauty of your wisdom
and defile (O)your splendor.
8 (P)They shall thrust you down into the pit,
(Q)and you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.
9 (R)Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though (S)you are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?
10 (T)You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
(U)for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”

your heart has grown proud.(I)

You will be but a mortal, not a god,(P)
in the hands of those who slay you.(Q)
