1 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 2 Filho do homem, dize ao príncipe de Tiro: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto que se eleva o teu coração, e dizes: Eu sou Deus, sobre a cadeira de Deus me assento no coração dos mares, e não passas de homem e não és Deus, ainda que estimas o teu coração como se fora o coração de Deus — 3 sim, és mais sábio que Daniel, não há segredo algum que se possa esconder de ti; 4 pela tua sabedoria e pelo teu entendimento, alcançaste o teu poder e adquiriste ouro e prata nos teus tesouros; 5 pela extensão da tua sabedoria no teu comércio, aumentaste as tuas riquezas; e, por causa delas, se eleva o teu coração —, 6 assim diz o Senhor Deus: Visto que estimas o teu coração como se fora o coração de Deus, 7 eis que eu trarei sobre ti os mais terríveis estrangeiros dentre as nações, os quais desembainharão a espada contra a formosura da tua sabedoria e mancharão o teu resplendor. 8 Eles te farão descer à cova, e morrerás da morte dos traspassados no coração dos mares. 9 Dirás ainda diante daquele que te matar: Eu sou Deus? Pois não passas de homem e não és Deus, no poder do que te traspassa. 10 Da morte de incircuncisos morrerás, por intermédio de estrangeiros, porque eu o falei, diz o Senhor Deus.

11 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 12 Filho do homem, levanta uma lamentação contra o rei de Tiro e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Tu és o sinete da perfeição, cheio de sabedoria e formosura. 13 Estavas no Éden, jardim de Deus; de todas as pedras preciosas te cobrias: o sárdio, o topázio, o diamante, o berilo, o ônix, o jaspe, a safira, o carbúnculo e a esmeralda; de ouro se te fizeram os engastes e os ornamentos; no dia em que foste criado, foram eles preparados. 14 Tu eras querubim da guarda ungido, e te estabeleci; permanecias no monte santo de Deus, no brilho das pedras andavas. 15 Perfeito eras nos teus caminhos, desde o dia em que foste criado até que se achou iniquidade em ti. 16 Na multiplicação do teu comércio, se encheu o teu interior de violência, e pecaste; pelo que te lançarei, profanado, fora do monte de Deus e te farei perecer, ó querubim da guarda, em meio ao brilho das pedras. 17 Elevou-se o teu coração por causa da tua formosura, corrompeste a tua sabedoria por causa do teu resplendor; lancei-te por terra, diante dos reis te pus, para que te contemplem. 18 Pela multidão das tuas iniquidades, pela injustiça do teu comércio, profanaste os teus santuários; eu, pois, fiz sair do meio de ti um fogo, que te consumiu, e te reduzi a cinzas sobre a terra, aos olhos de todos os que te contemplam. 19 Todos os que te conhecem entre os povos estão espantados de ti; vens a ser objeto de espanto e jamais subsistirás.

20 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 21 Filho do homem, volve o rosto contra Sidom, profetiza contra ela 22 e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis-me contra ti, ó Sidom, e serei glorificado no meio de ti; saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando nela executar juízos e nela me santificar. 23 Pois enviarei contra ela a peste e o sangue nas suas ruas, e os traspassados cairão no meio dela, pela espada contra ela, por todos os lados; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor. 24 Para a casa de Israel já não haverá espinho que a pique, nem abrolho que cause dor, entre todos os vizinhos que a tratam com desprezo; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor Deus. 25 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Quando eu congregar a casa de Israel dentre os povos entre os quais estão espalhados e eu me santificar entre eles, perante as nações, então, habitarão na terra que dei a meu servo, a Jacó. 26 Habitarão nela seguros, edificarão casas e plantarão vinhas; sim, habitarão seguros, quando eu executar juízos contra todos os que os tratam com desprezo ao redor deles; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus.

1 The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God;— 3 behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee; 4 by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; 5 by thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches;— 6 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, 7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 8 They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas. 9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee. 10 Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

11 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared. 14 Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. 16 By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.

20 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 21 Son of man, set thy face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, 22 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. 23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. 24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

25 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 And they shall dwell securely therein; yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those that do them despite round about them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'In the pride of your heart you say, "I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas." But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god.

3 Are you wiser than Daniel "? Is no secret hidden from you?

4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.

5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud.

6 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god,

7 I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor.

8 They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you then say, "I am a god," in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you.

10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"

11 The word of the LORD came to me:

12 "Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. "Your settings and mountings "were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.

14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.

15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.

16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.

18 By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.

19 All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.'"

20 The word of the LORD came to me:

21 "Son of man, set your face against Sidon; prophesy against her

22 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'I am against you, Sidon, and among you I will display my glory. You will know that I am the LORD, when I inflict punishment on you and within you am proved to be holy.

23 I will send a plague upon you and make blood flow in your streets. The slain will fall within you, with the sword against you on every side. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

24 "'No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.

25 "'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.

26 They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.'"
