Ezekiel 28:3-4

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel; ¹ 

no secret is hidden from you. ² 

28:4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself;

you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.

[28:3]  ¹ sn Or perhaps “Danel” (so TEV), referring to a ruler known from Canaanite legend. See the note on “Daniel” in 14:14. A reference to Danel (preserved in legend at Ugarit, near the northern end of the Phoenician coast) makes more sense here when addressing Tyre than in 14:14.

[28:3]  ² sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.
