Ezekiel 28:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God:
Because you are haughty of heart,
you say, “I am a god!
I sit on a god’s throne
in the heart of the sea!”
But you are a man, not a god;
yet you pretend
you are a god at heart!
3 Oh yes, you are wiser than Daniel,[a]
nothing secret is too obscure for you!(A)
4 By your wisdom and intelligence
you made yourself rich,
filling your treasuries with gold and silver.
