Ezekiel 28:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 “Son of man, say to the [a]leader of Tyre, ‘The Lord [b]God says this:
“Because your heart is haughty
And you have said, ‘(A)I am a god,
I sit in the seat of [c]gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a (B)mortal and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
3 Behold, you are wiser than (C)Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you!
4 By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired (D)riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 By your great wisdom, by your (E)trade
You have increased your riches,
And your (F)heart is haughty because of your riches—

3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
