“Because your heart is lifted up,
    and you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of God,
    in the middle of the seas;’
yet you are man,
    and not God,
    though you set your heart as the heart of God—
³ behold, you are wiser than Daniel;
    there is no secret that is hidden from you;
⁴ by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,
    and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries;
⁵ by your great wisdom
    and by your trading you have increased your riches,
    and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

“Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
⁷     therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,
    the terrible of the nations.
They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.
    They will defile your brightness.
⁸ They will bring you down to the pit.
    You will die the death of those who are slain
    in the heart of the seas.
⁹ Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?
    But you are man, and not God,
    in the hand of him who wounds you.
¹⁰ You will die the death of the uncircumcised
    by the hand of strangers;
    for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
