Ezekiel 28:2 meaning and explanation
“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.
Ezekiel 28:2, Berean Standard Bible

The ruler's claim, "I am a god," is not a formal creed but the boast of a heart lifted up by trade and riches.
