Ezekiel 28:3-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 Behold, you are wiser than (A)Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you.
4 “By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired (B)riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 “By your great wisdom, by your (C)trade
You have increased your riches
And your (D)heart is lifted up because of your riches—
6 Therefore thus says the Lord God,
‘Because you have (E)made your heart
Like the heart of God,
7 Therefore, behold, I will bring (F)strangers upon you,
The (G)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.
