Ezekiel rebukes the proud ruler of Tyre
The ruler of Tyre exalted his heart and claimed divine wisdom because trade had made him rich. Ezekiel announced that foreigners would bring him down, and a lament exposed the splendor, corruption, and ruin behind his pride (Ezekiel 28:1-19).

📖 Ezekiel 28:1–3
1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that 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. 3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!
