1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:

"Because your heart is lifted up,

and you have said, ‘I am a god,

I sit in the seat of God,

in the middle of the seas;’

yet you are man,

and no god,

though you set your heart as the heart of a god—

3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel.

There is no secret that is hidden from you.

4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,

and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.

5 By your great wisdom

and by your trading you have increased your riches,

and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—"

6 "‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says:

"Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,

the terrible of the nations.

They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.

They will defile your brightness.

8 They will bring you down to the pit.

You will die the death of those who are slain

in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?

But you are man, and not God,

in the hand of him who wounds you.

10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised

by the hand of strangers;

for I have spoken it," says the Lord Yahweh.’"

11 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:

"You were the seal of full measure,

full of wisdom,

and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden,

the garden of God.

Every precious stone adorned you:

ruby, topaz, emerald,

chrysolite, onyx, jasper,

sapphire, turquoise, and beryl.

Gold work of tambourines

and of pipes was in you.

They were prepared in the day that you were created.

14 You were the anointed cherub who covers.

Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God.

You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.

15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,

until unrighteousness was found in you.

16 By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence,

and you have sinned.

Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain.

I have destroyed you, covering cherub,

from the middle of the stones of fire.

17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty.

You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.

I have cast you to the ground.

I have laid you before kings,

that they may see you.

18 By the multitude of your iniquities,

in the unrighteousness of your commerce,

you have profaned your sanctuaries.

Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you.

It has devoured you.

I have turned you to ashes on the earth

in the sight of all those who see you.

19 All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you.

You have become a terror,

and you will exist no more."’"

20 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 21 "Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, 22 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:

"Behold, I am against you, Sidon.

I will be glorified among you.

Then they will know that I am Yahweh,

when I have executed judgments in her,

and am sanctified in her.

23 For I will send pestilence into her,

and blood into her streets.

The wounded will fall within her,

with the sword on her on every side.

Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

24 "‘"There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh."

25 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God."’"

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because thy heart has lifted [thee] up and thou hast said, I [am] God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas (yet thou [art] man, and not God); and thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:

3 behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

4 with thy wisdom and with thine intelligence thou hast gotten thee riches and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

5 by the greatness of thy wisdom in thy trafficking thou hast multiplied thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

6 therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God,

7 behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the strong ones of the Gentiles, 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 of the death of [those that are] slain in the midst of the seas.

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slays thee, I [am] God? but thou [shalt be] a man, and not God, in the hand of him that slays thee.

10 Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken, said the Lord GOD.

11 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

12 Son of man, raise up lamentations upon the king of Tyre and say unto him, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Thou dost seal up the sum [of perfection], full of wisdom, and completed in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering: the sardius, topaz, diamond, turquoise, onyx, and beryl, the sapphire, ruby, and emerald, and gold; the works of thy tambourines and of thy pipes were prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou, great cherubim, [wast] covered, and I placed thee; thou wast in the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked among stones of fire.

15 Thou [wast] perfect in all thy ways from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.

16 Because of the multitude of thy trafficking thou wast filled with violence, and thou hast sinned; and [I]cast thee out of the mountain of God, and I cast thee unto evil from among the stones of fire, O cherubim [that wast] covered.

17 Thine heart lifted thee up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I will cast thee to the earth; I will expose thee before the kings, that they may behold thee.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuary by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy trafficking; therefore I brought forth fire from the midst of thee, which has consumed thee, and I brought thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those that behold thee.

19 All those that knew thee from among the peoples shall marvel over thee; thou hast been [greatly] disturbed, and thou shalt not exist again forever.

20 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon and prophesy against her

22 and say, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I [am] against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her.

23 For I will send into her pestilence and blood into her streets; and the dead shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

24 And there shall no longer be a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor [any] thorn that causes him pain, round about [them] of those that despise them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

25 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: 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 eyes of the Gentiles, then they shall dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26 And they shall dwell safely therein and shall build houses and plant vineyards; and they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments in all those that spoil them round about them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.:
