Ezekiel 28:1-10
New American Standard Bible
Tyre’s King Overthrown
28 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to the [a]leader of Tyre, ‘The Lord [b]God says this:
“Because your heart is haughty
And you have said, ‘(A)I am a god,
I sit in the seat of [c]gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a (B)mortal and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
3 Behold, you are wiser than (C)Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you!
4 By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired (D)riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 By your great wisdom, by your (E)trade
You have increased your riches,
And your (F)heart is haughty because of your riches—
6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says:
‘Because you have (G)made your heart
Like the heart of God,
7 Therefore, behold, I am going to bring (H)strangers against you,
The (I)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And profane your splendor.
8 They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the (J)death of those who are killed
In the heart of the seas.
9 Will you still say, “I am a god,”
In the presence of one who kills you,
Though you are a mortal and not God,
In the hands of those who wound you?
10 You will die the death of the (K)uncircumcised
By the hand of strangers,
For I have spoken!’ declares the Lord God!”’”

Prophecy Against the Prince of Tyre
28 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, say to (B)the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:
(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.”
