“Son of man,[a] say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Lord God says:

“‘You are very proud!
    And you say, “I am a god!
I sit on the seat of gods
    in the middle of the seas.”

“‘But you are a man and not God!
    You only think you are a god.
You think you are wiser than Daniel[b]
    and no secret is hidden from you.
Through your wisdom and understanding
    you have gotten riches for yourself.
And you put gold and silver
    in your treasuries.
