Read the Bible

Because you are proud,
    you say, "I am a god.
I sit on the throne of a god
    in the middle of the seas."
You think you are as wise as a god,
    but you are a human, not a god.
³ You think you are wiser than Daniel.
    You think you can find out all secrets.
⁴ Through your wisdom and understanding
    you have made yourself rich.
You have gained gold and silver
    and have saved it in your storerooms.
⁵ Through your great skill in trading,
    you have made your riches grow.
You are too proud
    because of your riches.

You think you are wise
    like a god,
⁷ but I will bring foreign people against you,
    the cruelest nation.
They will pull out their swords
    and destroy all that your wisdom has built,
    and they will dishonor your greatness.
⁸ They will kill you;
    you will die a terrible death
    like those who are killed at sea.
⁹ While they are killing you,
    you will not be able to say anymore, "I am a god."
You will be only a human, not a god,
    when your murderers kill you.
¹⁰ You will die like an unclean person;
    foreigners will kill you.

You were an example of what was perfect,
    full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
¹³ You had a wonderful life,
    as if you were in Eden, the garden of God.
Every valuable gem was on you:
    ruby, topaz, and emerald,
    yellow quartz, onyx, and jasper,
    sapphire, turquoise, and chrysolite.
Your jewelry was made of gold.
    It was prepared on the day you were created.
¹⁴ I appointed a living creature to guard you.
    I put you on the holy mountain of God.
    You walked among the gems that shined like fire.
¹⁵ Your life was right and good
    from the day you were created,
    until evil was found in you.
¹⁶ Because you traded with countries far away,
    you learned to be cruel, and you sinned.
So I threw you down in disgrace from the mountain of God.
    And the living creature who guarded you
    forced you out from among the gems that shined like fire.
¹⁷ You became too proud
    because of your beauty.
You ruined your wisdom
    because of your greatness.
I threw you down to the ground.
    Your example taught a lesson to other kings.
¹⁸ You dishonored your places of worship
    through your many sins and dishonest trade.
So I set on fire the place where you lived,
    and the fire burned you up.
I turned you into ashes on the ground
    for all those watching to see.
¹⁹ All the nations who knew you
    are shocked about you.
Your punishment was so terrible,
    and you are gone forever.'"

I am against you, Sidon,
    and I will show my glory among you.
People will know that I am the Lord
    when I have punished Sidon;
    I will show my holiness by defeating her.
²³ I will send diseases to Sidon,
    and blood will flow in her streets.
Those who are wounded in Sidon will fall dead,
    attacked from all sides.
