The Ruler Who Thought He Was God.

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

The word of the Lord came to me:

בֶּן־אָדָ֡ם אֱמֹר֩ לִנְגִ֨יד צֹ֜ר כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִֹ֗ה יַ֣עַן גָּבַ֤הּ לִבְּךָ֙ וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵ֣ל אָ֔נִי מוֹשַׁ֧ב אֱלֹהִ֛ים יָשַׁ֖בְתִּי בְּלֵ֣ב יַמִּ֑ים וְאַתָּ֤ה אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא־אֵ֔ל וַתִּתֵּ֥ן לִבְּךָ֖ כְּלֵ֥ב אֱלֹהִֽים׃

[2] “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God : “Because your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,’ yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god—

הִנֵּ֥ה חָכָ֛ם אַתָּ֖ה ׳מִדָּנִאֵל׳ ״מִדָּֽנִיאֵ֑ל״ כָּל־סָת֖וּם לֹ֥א עֲמָמֽוּךָ׃

[3] you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;

בְּחָכְמָֽתְךָ֙ וּבִתְבוּנָ֣תְךָ֔ עָשִׂ֥יתָ לְּךָ֖ חָ֑יִל וַתַּ֛עַשׂ זָהָ֥ב וָכֶ֖סֶף בְּאוֹצְרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

[4] by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
