&#8220;Son of man, say to the prince<n id="1" /> of Tyre, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Your heart is proud<n id="2" /> and you said, &#8220;I am a god;<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas&#8221; &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">yet you are a man and not a god,p> <p class="poetry">though you think you are godlike.<n id="4" />p>

The <sc>Lordsc> said to me: &#8220;Son of man, pay attention,<n id="1" /> watch closely and listen carefully to<n id="2" /> everything I tell you concerning all the statutes of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s house and all its laws. Pay attention to the entrances<n id="3" /> to the temple with all the exits of the sanctuary.

Can your heart endure,<n id="1" /> or can your hands be strong when I deal with you?<n id="2" /> I, the <sc>Lord,sc> have spoken, and I will do it!

<p class="poetry">Your heart was proud because of your beauty;p> <p class="poetry">you corrupted your wisdom on account of your splendor.p> <p class="poetry">I threw you down to the ground;p> <p class="poetry">I placed you before kings, that they might see you.p>

The man said to me, &#8220;Son of man, watch closely, listen carefully, and pay attention<n id="1" /> to everything I show you, for you have been brought here so that I can show it to you.<n id="2" /> Tell the house of Israel everything you see.&#8221;p>
