Ezekiel 28:2 “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.

In the Hebrew text, the word for "say" is "אָמַר" (amar), which implies not just speaking but also thinking or believing. The rhetorical question posed by Jeremiah is meant to provoke introspection among the Moabites, questioning the validity of their self-assessment.
