Ezekiel 28:2-4

International Standard Version

²“Son of Man, tell Tyre’s Commander-in-Chief,^[a] ‘This is what the Lord God says:

“Because your heart is arrogant,^[b]
    and because you keep saying,
‘I have taken my seat,
    I am a god,
        seated in God’s seat right in the middle^[c] of the sea,’^[d]
and because you’re a man,
    and not a god,
even though you pretend
    that you have a god-like heart…
³Look! You’re wiser than Daniel, aren’t you?
    No secret is too mysterious for you!
⁴Your wisdom and understanding
    brought you phenomenal wealth.
You’ve brought gold and silver
    into your treasuries.
