Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Por eso, así dice el Señor Dios: Como te ensoberbeciste por tu altura, alzaste tu copa hasta las nubes, y tu corazón se llenó de orgullo por tu grandeza.
Dios condena el orgullo desmedido que surge del éxito y la grandeza.
