⁶ For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God,

² Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:

¹⁷ Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?

⁴ He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

⁹ Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.

¹⁰ See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.

¹¹ His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach.

¹² His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.

²² Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

⁴ Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

¹¹ For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.
