Ezekiel 28:6

A Prophecy Aimed At The King Of Tyre

⁵ “By your great wisdom, by your trade
You have increased your riches
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches—
⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord God,
‘Because you have made your heart
Like the heart of God,

The most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.

For This Cause

Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
