by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches).

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground, I have set you before kings, that they might observe you.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart was lifted up in its height,

when your heart is lifted up, and you forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against Jehovah his God to enter the temple of Jehovah to burn incense on the altar of incense.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Prior to shattering, the heart of man is haughty; and before honor is humility.

For the day of Jehovah of Hosts shall come upon all the proud and lofty ones, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this.

But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is.

Behold, the soul of him who is puffed up is not upright; but the just shall live by his faith.

not a new convert, that he not be puffed up with pride and fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

Likewise you that are younger, be subject to your elders. Yes, all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

Will you still think to say before him who slays you, I am God? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who slays you.

For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be as God, knowing good and evil.

And the people kept shouting, The voice of a god and not of a man!

And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.

So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You seal the measure, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

You were the anointed cherub that covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of the Mighty God; I will also sit on the mount of the appointed assembly, in the recesses of the north.

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

The king spoke and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?

While the word was still in the king's mouth a voice fell from the heavens, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: The kingdom has been taken away from you!

who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is honored, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, declaring of himself that he is God.

and say to Tyre, You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, you have said, I am perfect in beauty.

Your borders are in the midst of the seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.

Your oarsmen brought you into many waters, but the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas.

Your riches, wares, and merchandise, your mariners and pilots, your caulkers and merchandisers, all your men of war who are in you, and the entire company which is in your midst, will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.

Will you still think to say before him who slays you, I am God? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who slays you.

Put them in fear, O Jehovah; let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

In His days the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

Now Egypt is a man, and not the Mighty God; and their horses are flesh, and not Spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch out His hand, both he who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down, and they shall all be finished together.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is honored, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, declaring of himself that he is God.
