Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
