Thematic Bible



“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre: This is what the Lord God says:

Your heart is proud,
and you have said, ‘I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the heart of the sea.’
Yet you are a man and not a god,
though you have regarded your heart
as that of a god.

in the presence of those who kill you?
Yet you will be only a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who kill you.
