“With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:”
By your great wisdom in your trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth, specifying that the prince's sense of power derives from commercial success rather than genuine spiritual understanding. The phrase 'heart has become proud' indicates that prosperity has corrupted his perception, making him believe that commercial success validates claims to divinity. This demonstrates how material success can distort human understanding of reality.
