I have sat in the heart of the seas.\u2019&#8211;but you are human and not a god, and you thought your heart like the heart of a god.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Ezekiel should have directed all these prophecies of doom against Tyre is not entirely evident. The Phoenicians had been trading partners of the kingdom of Judah since the time of Solomon, and they were in no way allied with the Babylonians, as were the hated Edomites. The prophet\u2019s objection to Tyre, as emerges in the second part of this verse and in what follows, appears to have been the theological rather than political: this prosperous maritime kingdom, enjoying luxurious wealth from its trading activities, had in the prophet\u2019s view committed the primal transgression of imagining that it was godlike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, The Hebrew Bible, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
