A Prophecy against the Ruler of Tyre

The word of the LORD comes against the ruler of Tyre because his heart is proud and he says he is a god seated in the heart of the seas, though he is only a man. His wisdom and understanding have gained him wealth, gold, and silver through trade, and his riches have exalted his heart. Therefore God will bring the most ruthless foreigners against him to defile his splendor, cast him down to the pit, and make him die like the uncircumcised before strangers, proving that the self-declared god is only mortal.

A¹nd the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: ³Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; ⁴By your wisdom and understanding ⁵By your great skill in trading ⁶Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ⁷behold, I will bring foreigners against you, ⁸They will bring you down to the Pit, ⁹Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ ¹⁰You will die the death of the uncircumcised
