¹⁷ 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 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.

¹² `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.

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

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

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

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

³ O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou -- thou hast said: I `am' the perfection of beauty.

⁹ And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

¹⁶ Fallen hath the crown `from' our head, Wo `is' now to us, for we have sinned.

¹² How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.

²⁹ See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they -- they have sought out many devices.

³⁴ Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of peoples `is' a sin-offering.

⁵ And Jehovah seeth that abundant `is' the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

³¹ And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day the sixth.
