Ezekiel 28 — The Fall of Tyre

“Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!

There is no secret hidden from you.

By your wisdom and your understanding you have gained riches for yourself,

and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries.

By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,

and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.”

Dialogue sense:

YHWH is not flattering him — He’s mocking his self-image.

The prince thinks his skill in trade equals divine wisdom.

He built a global economy — but at the cost of reverence.

“You know how to move money, but not how to humble your heart.”
