⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

² Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

¹⁷ As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

⁴ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

⁹ Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

¹⁰ Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

¹¹ Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

¹² Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

²² Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

⁴ Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

¹¹ For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
