CHAP. XXVIII.
1 THE word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto a the prince b of Tyrus, thus saith the Lord GOD; because thine heart is lift∣ed c up, and thou hast said d I am a god e, I sit in the seat of GOD f, in the † midst of the seas, yet thou art a man g, and not GOD, though thou set thine heart h as the heart of GOD:
3 Behold, thou art i wiser then ‖ Daniel, there is no secret that they k can hide from thee:
4 With thy wisdom l and with thine under∣standing thou hast gotten m thee riches n, and hast gotten o gold and silver into thy trea∣sures.p
5 † By thy great q wisdom, and r by thy traffick hast thou increased s thy riches t, and thine heart is lifted u up because of thy riches x.
6 Therefore, thus saith the Lord GOD; Be∣cause thou hast set thine heart y as the heart of God z;
7 Behold therefore, I will bring a strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations b b: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty c of thy wisdom, and they shall defile d thy bright∣ness.e
8 They f shall bring thee down to the pit g, and thou shalt die the deaths h of them that are slain in the midst i of the seas.
