Ezekiel 28:1-9 NWT
28 And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying: 2 "Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said:'" "For the reason that your heart has become haughty, and you keep saying, 'I am a god. In the seat of god I have seated myself, in the heart of the open sea,' whereas an earthling man is what you are, and not a god, and you keep making your heart like the heart of god- 3 look! you are wiser than Daniel. There are no secrets that have proved a match for you. 4 By your wisdom and by your discernment you have made wealth for your own self, and you keep getting gold and silver in your storehouses. 5 By the abundance of your wisdom, by your sales goods, you have made your wealth abound, and your heart began to be haughty because of your wealth." 6 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: "For the reason that you make your heart like the heart of god, 7 therefore here I am bringing upon you strangers, the tyrants of [the] nations, and they will certainly draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and profane your beaming splendor. 8 Down to the pit they will bring you, and you must die the death of someone slain in the heart of the open sea. 9 Will you without fail say, 'I am god,' before the one killing you, whereas you are a mere earthling man, and not a god, in the hand of those profaning you?"
Ezekiel 28:1-9 LITV
(1) And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
(2) Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, So says the Lord Jehovah, Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you give your heart as the heart of gods.
(3) Behold, you are wiser than Daniel. Every one of the secret things are not hidden to you.
(4) With your wisdom and with your understanding you have made riches for yourself, and have worked gold and silver into your treasuries.
(5) By your great wisdom, by your trade you have multiplied your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.
(6) So the Lord Jehovah says this: Because you have given your heart as the heart of gods,
(7) behold, so I will bring on you awesome strangers of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.
(8) They will cause you to go down to the Pit, and you shall die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.
(9) Saying, do you say, I am of the gods before him who strikes you? But you are a man, and not God, in the hands of him who pierces you.

(2) Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre. So says the Lord Jehovah: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of gods;
(3) Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; all secret things are not hidden from you!
