no secret is hidden from you. 2
1 sn Or perhaps “Danel” (so TEV), referring to a ruler known from Canaanite legend. See the note on “Daniel” in 14:14. A reference to Danel (preserved in legend at Ugarit, near the northern end of the Phoenician coast) makes more sense here when addressing Tyre than in 14:14.
2 sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.
3 tn As a case of dittography, the MT repeats “and they were scattered” at the end of the verse.
