“By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: thy great: Heb. the greatness of thy wisdom”
Ezekiel 28:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 28:5
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches continues crediting human commercial skill. And thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches identifies the spiritual result—pride. Riches produce pride unless counterbalanced by humility and acknowledgment of God's grace. Wealth convinces us we're self-sufficient, capable, deserving. Unless we actively resist, prosperity breeds arrogance. The phrase heart is lifted up pictures pride's upward trajectory—away from God, toward self-exaltation. Downward humility acknowledges dependence; upward pride proclaims independence.
