Ezekiel 28–30 Ezekiel 28–30 (Listen) Prophecy Against the Prince of Tyre 28 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Because your heart is proud,<br />    and you have said, ‘I am a god,<br />  I sit in the seat of the gods,<br />    in the heart of the seas,’<br />  yet you are but a man, and no god,<br />    though you make your heart like the heart of a god—<br />3   you are indeed wiser than Daniel;<br />    no secret is hidden from you;<br />4   by your wisdom and your understanding<br />    you have made wealth for yourself,<br />  and have gathered gold and silver<br />    into your treasuries;<br />5   by your great wisdom in your trade<br />    you have increased your wealth,<br />    and your heart has become proud in your wealth—<br />6   therefore thus says the Lord GOD:<br />  Because you make your heart<br />    like the heart of a god,<br />7   therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,<br />    the most ruthless of the nations;<br />
