|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Son of man, tell the leader of Tyre, 'The Lord God says, "Because your heart is proud, you have said, 'I am a god. I sit in the seat of gods, with the seas around me.' Yet you are a man and not God, even if you think you are as wise as God.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , say H559 unto the prince H5057 of Tyrus H6865 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thine heart H3820 is lifted up H1361 , and thou hast said H559 , I H589 am a God H410 , I sit H3427 in the seat H4186 of God H430 , in the midst H3820 of the seas H3220 ; yet thou H859 art a man H120 , and not H3808 God H410 , though thou set H5414 thine heart H3820 as the heart H3820 of God H430 :
|
|
3. You are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
|
3. Behold H2009 , thou H859 art wiser H2450 than Daniel H4480 H1840 ; there is no H3808 secret H5640 that they can hide H6004 from thee:
|
|
4. By your wisdom and understanding you have gathered riches for yourself. You have gathered gold and silver for your store-houses.
|
4. With thy wisdom H2451 and with thine understanding H8394 thou hast gotten H6213 thee riches H2428 , and hast gotten H6213 gold H2091 and silver H3701 into thy treasures H214 :
|
|
5. By all your wisdom in trade you have added to your riches, and your heart has become proud because of them.
|
5. By thy great H7230 wisdom H2451 and by thy traffic H7404 hast thou increased H7235 thy riches H2428 , and thine heart H3824 is lifted up H1361 because of thy riches H2428 :
|
|
6. So the Lord God says, 'Because you think you are as wise as God,
|
6. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thou hast set H5414 H853 thine heart H3820 as the heart H3820 of God H430 ;
|
|
7. I will bring strangers against you, those who have the hardest hearts of all the nations. With their swords they will destroy the beauty of your wisdom and your greatness.
|
7. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I will bring H935 strangers H2114 upon H5921 thee , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 : and they shall draw H7324 their swords H2719 against H5921 the beauty H3308 of thy wisdom H2451 , and they shall defile H2490 thy brightness H3314 .
|
|
8. They will bring you down to the grave. You will die the death of those who are killed on the sea.
|
8. They shall bring thee down H3381 to the pit H7845 , and thou shalt die H4191 the deaths H4463 of them that are slain H2491 in the midst H3820 of the seas H3220 .
|
|
9. Will you still say, "I am a god," in front of those who kill you? You will be only a man and not a god in the hands of those who kill you.
|
9. Wilt thou yet say H559 H559 before H6440 him that slayeth H2026 thee, I H589 am God H430 ? but thou H859 shalt be a man H120 , and no H3808 God H410 , in the hand H3027 of him that slayeth H2490 thee.
|
|
10. You will be killed by strangers, and will die the death of one who has not gone through the religious act of My people. For I have spoken,' says the Lord God." ' "
|
10. Thou shalt die H4191 the deaths H4194 of the uncircumcised H6189 by the hand H3027 of strangers H2114 : for H3588 I H589 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
11. The Word of the Lord came to me saying,
|
11. Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
12. "Son of man, sing a song of sorrow for the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'The Lord God says, "You were once the mark of what is perfect, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
|
12. Son H1121 of man H120 , take up H5375 a lamentation H7015 upon H5921 the king H4428 of Tyrus H6865 , and say H559 unto him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Thou H859 sealest up H2856 the sum H8508 , full H4392 of wisdom H2451 , and perfect H3632 in beauty H3308 .
|
|
13. You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every stone of great worth covered you: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, chrysolite, turquoise, and emerald. And you had beautiful objects of gold. They were made for you when you were made.
|
13. Thou hast been H1961 in Eden H5731 the garden H1588 of God H430 ; every H3605 precious H3368 stone H68 was thy covering H4540 , the sardius H124 , topaz H6357 , and the diamond H3095 , the beryl H8658 , the onyx H7718 , and the jasper H3471 , the sapphire H5601 , the emerald H5306 , and the carbuncle H1304 , and gold H2091 : the workmanship H4399 of thy tabrets H8596 and of thy pipes H5345 was prepared H3559 in thee in the day H3117 that thou wast created H1254 .
|
|
14. You were the cherub who kept watch, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked among the stones of fire.
|
14. Thou H859 art the anointed H4473 cherub H3742 that covereth H5526 ; and I have set H5414 thee so : thou wast H1961 upon the holy H6944 mountain H2022 of God H430 ; thou hast walked up and down H1980 in the midst H8432 of the stones H68 of fire H784 .
|
|
15. You were without blame in your ways from the day you were made until sin was found in you.
|
15. Thou H859 wast perfect H8549 in thy ways H1870 from the day H4480 H3117 that thou wast created H1254 , till H5704 iniquity H5766 was found H4672 in thee.
|
|
16. Through all your trading you were filled with bad ways, and you sinned. So I have sent you away in shame from the mountain of God and I have destroyed you and driven you out from the stones of fire, O cherub who kept watch.
|
16. By the multitude H7230 of thy merchandise H7404 they have filled H4390 the midst H8432 of thee with violence H2555 , and thou hast sinned H2398 : therefore I will cast thee as profane H2490 out of the mountain H4480 H2022 of God H430 : and I will destroy H6 thee , O covering H5526 cherub H3742 , from the midst H4480 H8432 of the stones H68 of fire H784 .
|
|
17. Your heart was proud because of your beauty. You made your wisdom sinful because of your beauty. So I threw you to the ground. I laid you in front of kings for them to see you.
|
17. Thine heart H3820 was lifted up H1361 because of thy beauty H3308 , thou hast corrupted H7843 thy wisdom H2451 by reason of H5921 thy brightness H3314 : I will cast H7993 thee to H5921 the ground H776 , I will lay H5414 thee before H6440 kings H4428 , that they may behold H7200 thee.
|
|
18. By all your wrong-doing and sinful trading you made your holy places sinful. So I made a fire come out from you, and it has destroyed you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you.
|
18. Thou hast defiled H2490 thy sanctuaries H4720 by the multitude H4480 H7230 of thine iniquities H5771 , by the iniquity H5766 of thy traffic H7404 ; therefore will I bring forth H3318 a fire H784 from the midst H4480 H8432 of thee, it H1931 shall devour H398 thee , and I will bring H5414 thee to ashes H665 upon H5921 the earth H776 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 them that behold H7200 thee.
|
|
19. All the nations who know you are filled with wonder and fear because of you. You have come to a bad end, and you will be no more forever." ' "
|
19. All H3605 they that know H3045 thee among the people H5971 shall be astonished H8074 at H5921 thee : thou shalt be H1961 a terror H1091 , and never H369 shalt thou be any more H5704 H5769 .

|
20. The Word of the Lord came to me saying,
|
20. Again the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
21. "Son of man, look toward Sidon and speak against her.
|
21. Son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H413 Zidon H6721 , and prophesy H5012 against H5921 it,
|
|
22. Tell her, 'The Lord God says, "I am against you, O Sidon, and My greatness will be honored among you. They will know that I am the Lord when I punish Sidon. I will show Myself holy within her.
|
22. And say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 thee , O Zidon H6721 ; and I will be glorified H3513 in the midst H8432 of thee : and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I shall have executed H6213 judgments H8201 in her , and shall be sanctified H6942 in her.
|
|
23. For I will send disease upon her, and blood into her streets. People will be killed by the sword from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
|
23. For I will send H7971 into her pestilence H1698 , and blood H1818 into her streets H2351 ; and the wounded H2491 shall be judged H5307 in the midst H8432 of her by the sword H2719 upon H5921 her on every side H4480 H5439 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
24. No longer will the people of Israel have neighbors like a sharp thistle or thorn who hate them. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
|
24. And there shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 a pricking H3992 brier H5544 unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , nor any grieving H3510 thorn H6975 of all H4480 H3605 that are round about H5439 them , that despised H7590 them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
25. "The Lord God says, 'I will gather the people of Israel from the different nations where they have been sent. And I will show Myself holy among them in the eyes of the nations. Then they will live in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
|
25. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; When I shall have gathered H6908 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from H4480 the people H5971 among whom H834 they are scattered H6327 , and shall be sanctified H6942 in them in the sight H5869 of the heathen H1471 , then shall they dwell H3427 in H5921 their land H127 that H834 I have given H5414 to my servant H5650 Jacob H3290 .
|
|
26. They will live there and be safe. They will build houses, plant grape-fields, and be safe, when I punish all those around them who speak against them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God." ' "
|
26. And they shall dwell H3427 safely H983 therein H5921 , and shall build H1129 houses H1004 , and plant H5193 vineyards H3754 ; yea , they shall dwell H3427 with confidence H983 , when I have executed H6213 judgments H8201 upon all H3605 those that despise H7590 them round about H4480 H5439 them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 their God H430 .
