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:

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:

Because thou hast set [this] thine heart
as the heart of God;
⁷ Behold,
therefore I will bring strangers upon thee,
the terrible of the nations:
and they shall draw their swords
against the beauty of thy wisdom,
and they shall defile thy brightness.
⁸ They shall bring thee down to the pit,
and thou shalt die the deaths
of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

⁹ Wilt thou yet say [saying shall you say]
before him that slayeth thee,
I am God?
but thou shalt be a man,
and no God,
in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
¹⁰ Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised
by the hand of strangers:

(b). Lament for the King (28:11-19)

Thou sealest up the sum,
full of wisdom,
and perfect in beauty.
¹³ Thou hast been in Eden
the garden of God;
every precious stone was thy coverering,
the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,
the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,
the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle,
and gold:
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes
was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

¹⁴ Thou art the anointed cherub that coverth;
and I have set thee so:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
¹⁵ Thou wast perfect in thy ways
from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

¹⁶ By the multitude of thy merchandise
they have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned:
therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God:
and I will destroy thee,
O coverering cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
¹⁷ Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:
I will cast thee to the ground,
I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee.

¹⁸ Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries
by the multitude of thine iniquities,
by the iniquity of thy traffick;
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee,
it shall devour thee,
and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth
in the sight of all them that behold thee.
¹⁹ All they that know thee among the people
shall be astonished at thee:
thou shalt be a terror,
and never shalt thou be [and nothing of you] any more [unto perpetuity].

b). Sidon (28:20-26)

Behold,
I am against thee, O Zidon;
and I will be glorified in the midst of thee:
and they shall know that I am the LORD,
when I shall have executed judgments in her,
and shall be sanctified in her.
²³ For I will send into her pestilence,
and blood into her streets;
and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her
by the sword upon her on every side;

and they shall know that I am the LORD.
