A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.

You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!

So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
7 to/for so look! I to come (in): bring upon you be a stranger ruthless nation and to empty sword their upon beauty wisdom your and to profane/begin: profane splendor your
