 28:1 &para; The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,<br>
28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:<br>
28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:<br>
28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:<br>
28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:<br>
28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;<br>
28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.<br>
28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.<br>
28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.<br>
28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.<br>
