5 By your great skill[a] in trade you have increased your wealth,
and your heart is proud because of your wealth.
6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

Because you think you are godlike,[b]
7 I am about to bring foreigners[c] against you, the most terrifying of nations.
They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,[d]
and they will defile your splendor.
