The word of the LORD
came again unto me, saying
,
Son of man
, say
unto the prince
of Tyrus
, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
; Because thine 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 a man
, and not God
, though thou set
thine heart
as the heart
of God
:
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel
; there is no secret
that they can hide
from thee:
With thy wisdom and with thine understanding
thou hast gotten
thee riches
, and hast gotten
gold
and silver
into thy treasures
:
By thy great wisdom
and by thy traffick
hast thou increased
thy riches
, and thine heart
is lifted up
because of thy riches
:
Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD
; Because thou hast set
thine heart
as the heart
of God
;
Behold, therefore 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
.
They shall bring thee down to the pit
, and thou shalt die
the deaths
of them that are slain
in the midst
of the seas
.
Wilt thou yet say
before
him that slayeth
thee, I am God
? but thou shalt be a man
, and no God
, in the hand
of him that slayeth
thee.
Thou shalt die the deaths
of the uncircumcised
by the hand
of strangers
: for I have spoken
it , saith
the Lord
GOD
.
Moreover the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Son of man
, take up
a lamentation
upon the king
of Tyrus
, and say
unto him, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
; Thou sealest up
the sum
, full
of wisdom
, and perfect
in beauty
.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden
of God
; every precious
stone
was thy covering
, the sardius
, 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 prepared
in thee in the day
that thou wast created
.
Thou art the anointed cherub
that covereth
; and I have set
thee so : thou wast upon the holy
mountain
of God
; thou hast walked up and down
in the midst
of the stones
of fire
.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways
from the day
that thou wast created
, till iniquity
was found
in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise
they have filled
the midst
of thee with violence
, and thou hast sinned
: therefore I will cast thee as profane
out of the mountain
of God
: and I will destroy
thee, O covering
cherub
, from the midst
of the stones
of fire
.
Thine heart was lifted up
because of thy beauty
, thou hast corrupted
thy wisdom
by reason of
thy brightness
: I will cast
thee to the ground
, I will lay
thee before
kings
, that they may behold
thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries
by the multitude
of thine iniquities
, by the iniquity
of thy traffick
; therefore will I bring forth
a fire
from the midst
of thee, it shall devour
thee, and I will bring
thee to ashes
upon the earth
in the sight
of all them that behold
thee.
All they that know thee among the people
shall be astonished
at thee: thou shalt be a terror
, and never
shalt thou be any more
.
Again the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Son of man
, set
thy face
against Zidon
, and prophesy
against it,
And say, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
; 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.
For I will send into her pestilence
, and blood
into her streets
; and the wounded
shall be judged
in the midst
of her by the sword
upon her on every side
; and they shall know
that I am the LORD
.
And there shall be no more a pricking brier
unto the house
of Israel
, nor any grieving
thorn
of all that are round about
them, that despised
them; and they shall know
that I am the Lord
GOD
.
Thus saith the Lord
GOD
; When I shall have gathered
the house
of Israel
from the people
among whom they are scattered
, and shall be sanctified
in them in the sight
of the heathen
, then shall they dwell
in their land
that I have given
to my servant
Jacob
.
And they shall dwell safely
therein, and shall build
houses
, and plant
vineyards
; yea, they shall dwell
with confidence
, when I have executed
judgments
upon all those that despise
them round about
them; and they shall know
that I am the LORD
their God
.
