“By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:”
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have made your heart like the heart of a god, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the most terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and defile your splendor, introducing judgment for the prince's theological presumption. The 'strangers' (likely referring to Nebuchadnezzar's armies) will destroy the very wisdom and splendor that the prince claimed gave him divine status, demonstrating that human power cannot withstand God's judgment. The desecration of splendor directly counters the prince's claims to magnificence.
