Ezekiel 28:2-4

New International Reader's Version

“ ‘ “In your proud heart
    you say, ‘I am a god.
I sit on the throne of a god
    in the Mediterranean Sea.’
But you are only a human being. You are not a god.
    In spite of that, you think you are as wise as a god.
³ Are you wiser than Daniel?
    Isn’t even one secret hidden from you?
⁴ You are wise and understanding.
    So you have become very wealthy.
You have piled up gold and silver
    among your treasures.
