2 “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said:

“‘“For the reason that your heart has become haughty,+ and you keep saying, ‘I am a god.*+ In the seat of god* I have seated myself,+ in the heart of the open sea,’+ whereas an earthling man* is what you are,+ and not a god,+ and you keep making your heart like the heart of god—

16 These men are murmurers,+ complainers about their lot in life,* proceeding according to their own desires,+ and their mouths speak swelling things,+ while they are admiring personalities*+ for the sake of [their own] benefit.
