Ezekiel 28:2-5

Context
28:2 “Son of man, say to the prince 1  of Tyre, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘Your heart is proud 2  and you said, “I am a god; 3 

I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas” –

yet you are a man and not a god,

though you think you are godlike. 4 

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel; 5 

no secret is hidden from you. 6 

28:4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself;

you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.

28:5 By your great skill 7  in trade you have increased your wealth,

and your heart is proud because of your wealth.

Ezekiel 28:17

Context

28:17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;

you corrupted your wisdom on account of your splendor.

I threw you down to the ground;

I placed you before kings, that they might see you.

1 tn Or “ruler” (NIV, NCV).

2 tn Heb “lifted up.”

sn See Prov 16:5.

3 tn Or “I am divine.”

4 tn Heb “and you made your heart (mind) like the heart (mind) of gods.”

5 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.

6 sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.

7 tn Or “wisdom.”
