Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.

4

By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.

By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,

7

for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.

8

They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.

So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God?
