5
By your great wisdom and by your trade
You have increased your riches and power,
And your heart is proud and arrogant because of your wealth;

‘Because you have imagined your mind [to be]
Like the mind of God [having thoughts and plans like God Himself],

Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers (Babylonians) upon you,
The most ruthless and violent of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom [O Tyre]
And defile your splendor.
