¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

^{2 Ref} `Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I `am', The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou `art' man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God,

^{3 Ref} Lo, thou `art' wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee.

^{4 Ref} By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries.

^{5 Ref} By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth.

^{6 Ref} Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God,

^{7 Ref} Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness.

^{8 Ref} To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.

^{9 Ref} Dost thou really say, `I `am' God,' Before him who is slaying thee? And thou `art' man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.

^{10 Ref} The deaths of the uncircumcised thou diest, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

^{12 Ref} `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

^{13 Ref} In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the day of thy being produced, have been prepared.

^{14 Ref} Thou `art' an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of stones of fire thou hast walked up and down.

^{15 Ref} Perfect `art' thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.

^{16 Ref} By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.

^{17 Ref} High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee,

^{18 Ref} From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all beholding thee.

^{19 Ref} All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not -- to the age.'

²⁰ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

^{21 Ref} `Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy concerning it;

^{22 Ref} and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I `am' against thee, O Zidon, And I have been honoured in thy midst, And they have known that I `am' Jehovah, In My doing in her judgments, And I have been sanctified in her.

^{23 Ref} And I have sent into her pestilence, And blood into her out-places, The wounded hath been judged in her midst, By the sword upon her round about, And they have known that I `am' Jehovah.

^{24 Ref} And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them -- despising them, And they have known that I `am' the Lord Jehovah.

^{25 Ref} Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to Jacob,

^{26 Ref} And they have dwelt on it confidently, And builded houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently -- in My doing judgments, On all those despising them round about, And they have known that I, Jehovah, `am' their God!'

¹ The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

^{2 Ref} Son 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;-

^{3 Ref} behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;

^{4 Ref} by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;

^{5 Ref} by your great wisdom [and] by your traffic have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches;-

^{6 Ref} therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

^{7 Ref} therefore, 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.

^{8 Ref} They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹¹ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

^{12 Ref} Son 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.

^{13 Ref} You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onx, jasper, sapphire{or, lapis lazuli}, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.

^{14 Ref} You 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.

^{15 Ref} You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

^{16 Ref} By 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.

^{17 Ref} Your 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.

^{18 Ref} By 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.

^{19 Ref} All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you are become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.

²⁰ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

^{21 Ref} Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

^{22 Ref} and 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.

^{23 Ref} For 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.

^{24 Ref} There 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.

^{25 Ref} Thus 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.

^{26 Ref} They 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.

¹ The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

^{2 Ref} Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:

^{3 Ref} See, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which is deeper than your knowledge:

^{4 Ref} By your wisdom and deep knowledge you have got power for yourself, and put silver and gold in your store-houses:

^{5 Ref} By your great wisdom and by your trade your power is increased, and your heart is lifted up because of your power:

^{6 Ref} For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God,

^{7 Ref} See, I am sending against you strange men, feared among the nations: they will let loose their swords against your bright wisdom, they will make your glory a common thing.

^{8 Ref} They will send you down to the underworld, and your death will be the death of those who are put to the sword in the heart of the seas.

^{9 Ref} Will you say, in the face of those who are taking your life, I am God? but you are man and not God in the hands of those who are wounding you.

^{10 Ref} Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.

¹¹ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

^{12 Ref} Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful;

^{13 Ref} You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.

^{14 Ref} I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire.

^{15 Ref} There has been no evil in your ways from the day when you were made, till sin was seen in you.

^{16 Ref} Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.

^{17 Ref} Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.

^{18 Ref} By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

^{19 Ref} All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.

²⁰ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

^{21 Ref} Son of man, let your face be turned to Zidon, and be a prophet against it, and say,

^{22 Ref} These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will get glory for myself in you: and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send my punishments on her, and I will be seen to be holy in her.

^{23 Ref} And I will send on her disease and blood in her streets; and the wounded will be falling in the middle of her, and the sword will be against her on every side; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

^{24 Ref} And there will no longer be a plant with sharp points wounding the children of Israel, or a thorn troubling them among any who are round about them, who put shame on them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

^{25 Ref} This is what the Lord has said: When I have got together the children of Israel from the peoples among whom they are wandering, and have been made holy among them before the eyes of the nations, then they will have rest in the land which is theirs, which I gave to my servant Jacob

^{26 Ref} And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.
