Heart

“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“Because your heart is lifted up
And you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a man and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord God.

‘Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Because it is high in stature and has set its top among the clouds, and its heart is haughty in its loftiness,

When pride comes, then comes dishonor,
But with the humble is wisdom.

Pride goes before destruction,

And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Thou hast

The princes of

Zoan are mere fools;

The advice of Pharaoh’s wisest advisers has become stupid.
How can you men say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”?

“The wise men are put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
And what kind of wisdom do they have?

Professing to be wise, they became fools,

For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”

I will cast

“Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to

destruction.

The Lord

supports the afflicted;

He brings down the wicked to the ground.

I will lay

They will burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. Then I will stop you from playing the harlot, and you will also no longer pay your lovers.

Thus I will make lewdness cease from the land, that all women may be admonished and not commit lewdness as you have done.

I will make many peoples appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they will tremble every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.”

“Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come;
It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth;
It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.
