1The word of Jehovah came again unto me , saying , 2Son 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 ;— 3behold , thou art wiser than Daniel ; there is no secret that is hidden from thee; 4by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches , and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; 5by thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches , and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches ;— 6therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God , 7therefore , 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 . 8They shall bring thee down to the pit ; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain , in the heart of the seas . 9Wilt 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 . 10Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers : for I have spoken it , saith the Lord Jehovah .
The Fall of the King of Tyre
11Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , 12Son 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 . 13Thou 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 . 14Thou 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. 15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created , till unrighteousness was found in thee . 16By 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. 17Thy 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 . 18By 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 . 19All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror , and thou shalt nevermore have any being .
The Prophecy Against Sidon
20And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , 21Son of man , set thy face toward Sidon , and prophesy against it , 22and 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 . 23For 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 . 24And 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 . 25Thus 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 . 26And 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 .
