1 De novo veio a mim a palavra de Jeová, dizendo:

2 Filho do homem, dize ao príncipe de Tiro: Assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Porquanto o teu coração se elevou, e disseste: Eu sou um deus, na cadeira de Deus me assento, no meio dos mares; todavia tu és homem, e não Deus, embora pusesses o teu coração como o coração de Deus;

3 eis que tu és mais sábio que Daniel; não há segredo que se possa esconder de ti:

4 pela tua sabedoria e pelo teu entendimento adquiriste para ti riquezas, e puseste ouro e prata nos teus tesouros;

5 pela tua grande sabedoria e pelo teu tráfico aumentaste as tuas riquezas, e o teu coração acha-se exaltado por causa das tuas riquezas;

6 portanto assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Porquanto puseste o teu coração como o coração de Deus;

7 eis que trarei sobre ti estrangeiros, os terríveis dentre as nações; eles desembainharão as suas espadas contra a formosura da tua sabedoria, e mancharão o teu resplendor.

8 Far-te-ão descer à cova; e morrerás da morte dos que são mortos, no coração dos mares.

9 Diante daquele que te matar porventura ainda dirás: Eu sou Deus? porém tu és homem, e não Deus, na mão do que te mata.

10 Pela mão dos estrangeiros morrerás da morte dos incircuncisos; porque eu o falei, diz o Senhor Jeová.

11 Demais, veio a mim a palavra de Jeová, dizendo:

12 Filho do homem, faze uma lamentação sobre o rei de Tiro, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Tu eras o selo da simetria e a perfeição da sabedoria e da formosura.

13 Estiveste no Éden, jardim de Deus; cobrias-te de todas as pedras preciosas: o sárdio, o topázio, o diamante, o berilo, o ônix, o jaspe, a safira, a esmeralda, o carbúnculo e o ouro. Em ti se faziam os teus tambores e os teus pífares: no dia em que foste criado foram preparados.

14 Tu eras o querubim ungido que cobre; e estabeleci-te, de sorte que estivesses sobre o monte santo de Deus; andaste no meio das pedras de fogo.

15 Tu eras perfeito nos teus caminhos desde o dia em que foste criado, até que a iniqüidade se achou em ti.

16 Pela abundância do teu tráfico encheram de violência o teu interior, e pecaste; portanto te lancei, profanado, do monte de Deus, e te exterminei, ó querubim cobridor, do meio das pedras de fogo.

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 iniqüidades, na injustiça do teu tráfico, tens profanado os meus santuários; portanto fiz sair do meio de ti fogo, que te devorou, e te reduzi a cinzas sobre a terra à vista de todos os que te contemplam.

19 Todos os que te conhecerem entre os povos, ficarão espantados de ti; tu te tornas em pavor, e tu não subsistirás mais.

20 Veio a mim a palavra de Jeová, dizendo:

21 Filho do homem, vira o teu rosto para Sidom, e profetiza contra ela,

22 e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Eis que sou contra ti, Sidom; e serei glorificado no meio de ti. Saberão que eu sou Jeová, quando nela eu tiver executado juízos, e nela for santificado.

23 Pois lhe enviarei peste e sangue nas suas ruas; os feridos cairão no meio dela, estando a espada sobre ela por todos os lados; e saberão que eu sou Jeová.

24 Para a casa de Israel não haverá espinho que pique, nem abrolho que cause dor, entre os que se acham ao redor deles, e os tratam com despeito; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor Jeová.

25 Assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Quando eu tiver ajuntado a casa de Israel, tirando-os dentre os povos entre os quais se acham espalhados, e for santificado neles à vista das nações; habitarão na sua terra que eu dei ao meu servo Jacó.

26 Nela habitarão seguros, plantarão vinhas e habitarão seguros, quando eu tiver executado juízos sobre todos os que os tratarem com despeito ao redor deles; e saberão que eu sou Jeová seu Deus.

1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

2 Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:

3 See, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which is deeper than your knowledge:

4 By your wisdom and deep knowledge you have got power for yourself, and put silver and gold in your store-houses:

5 By your great wisdom and by your trade your power is increased, and your heart is lifted up because of your power:

6 For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God,

7 See, I am sending against you strange men, feared among the nations: they will let loose their swords against your bright wisdom, they will make your glory a common thing.

8 They will send you down to the underworld, and your death will be the death of those who are put to the sword in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you say, in the face of those who are taking your life, I am God? but you are man and not God in the hands of those who are wounding you.

10 Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.

11 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

12 Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful;

13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.

14 I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire.

15 There has been no evil in your ways from the day when you were made, till sin was seen in you.

16 Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.

17 Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.

18 By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

19 All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.

20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 Son of man, let your face be turned to Zidon, and be a prophet against it, and say,

22 These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will get glory for myself in you: and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send my punishments on her, and I will be seen to be holy in her.

23 And I will send on her disease and blood in her streets; and the wounded will be falling in the middle of her, and the sword will be against her on every side; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

24 And there will no longer be a plant with sharp points wounding the children of Israel, or a thorn troubling them among any who are round about them, who put shame on them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

25 This is what the Lord has said: When I have got together the children of Israel from the peoples among whom they are wandering, and have been made holy among them before the eyes of the nations, then they will have rest in the land which is theirs, which I gave to my servant Jacob

26 And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.
