The Book of Ezekiel (WEB)

28: 1The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, ^28:2Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you did set your heart as the heart of God;-^28:3behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you; ^28:4by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures; ^28:5by your great wisdom and by your traffic have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches;-^28:6therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God, ^28:7therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness. ^28:8They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas. ^28:9Will 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. ^28:10You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh. ^28:11Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ^28:12Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. ^28:13You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the emerald, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was in you; in the day that you were created they were prepared. ^28:14You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. ^28:15You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you. ^28:16By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. ^28:17Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you. ^28:18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you. ^28:19All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you are become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being. ^28:20The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ^28:21Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, ^28:22and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. ^28:23For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. ^28:24There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite to them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh. ^28:25Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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. ^28:26They shall dwell securely therein; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite round about them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh their God.
