Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God:

Your heart has grown proud,
    and thus you say, “I am a god;
I sit on a godly throne
    in the heart of the seas.”
But in reality you are a man, and not a god,
    even though you compare your mind
    with that of a god.
Are you as wise as Daniel?
    Is no secret hidden from you?
By your wisdom and your intelligence,
    you have amassed great wealth for yourself.
You have deposited gold and silver
    into your treasuries.

    you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
    in your treasuries.(F)
