[1] Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:
“Because your heart is lifted up,
and you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of God,
in the middle of the seas;’
yet you are man,
and no god,
though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
[3] behold, you are wiser than Daniel.
There is no secret that is hidden from you.
[4] By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,
and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
[5] By your great wisdom
and by your trading you have increased your riches,
and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—” [6] “ ‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
[7] therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,
the terrible of the nations.
They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.
They will defile your brightness.
[8] They will bring you down to the pit.
You will die the death of those who are slain
in the heart of the seas.
[9] 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] You will die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of strangers;
for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ” [11] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [12] “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:
“You were the seal of full measure,
full of wisdom,
and perfect in beauty.
[13] You were in Eden,
the garden of God.
Every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz, emerald,
chrysolite, onyx, jasper,
sapphire,§ turquoise, and beryl.
Gold work of tambourines
and of pipes was in you.
They were prepared in the day that you were created.
[14] You were the anointed cherub who covers.
Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God.
You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
[15] You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,
until unrighteousness was found in you.
[16] By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence,
and you have sinned.
Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain.
I have destroyed you, covering cherub,
from the middle of the stones of fire.
[17] Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty.
You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I have cast you to the ground.
I have laid you before kings,
that they may see you.
[18] By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your commerce,
you have profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you.
It has devoured you.
I have turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all those who see you.
[19] All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you.
You have become a terror,
and you will exist no more.” ’ ” [20] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [21] “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, [22] and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says:
“Behold, I am against you, Sidon.
I will be glorified among you.
Then they will know that I am Yahweh,
when I have executed judgments in her,
and am sanctified in her.
[23] For I will send pestilence into her,
and blood into her streets.
The wounded will fall within her,
with the sword on her on every side.
Then they will know that I am Yahweh. [24] “ ‘ “There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.” [25] “ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob. [26] They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.” ’ ”
“Because your heart is lifted up,
and you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of God,
in the middle of the seas;’
yet you are man,
and no god,
though you set your heart as the heart of a god—

The King of Tyre
[1] The word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came again unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 say H559 (QalImpv) unto the prince H5057 of Tyrus, H6865 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because thine heart H3820 is lifted up, H1361 (QalPerf) and thou hast said, H559 (QalImpf) I am a God, H410 I sit H3427 (QalPerf) in the seat H4186 of God, H430 in the midst H3820§ of the seas; H3220 yet thou art a man, H120 and not God, H410 though thou set H5414 (QalImpf) thine heart H3820 as the heart H3820 of God: H430 [3] behold, thou art wiser H2450 than Daniel; H1840 there is no secret H5640 (QalPasPtc) that they can hide H6004 (QalPerf) from thee: [4] with thy wisdom H2451 and with thine understanding H8394 thou hast gotten H6213 (QalPerf) thee riches, H2428 and hast gotten H6213 (QalImpf) gold H2091 and silver H3701 into thy treasures: H214 [5] by thy great H7230 wisdom H2451§ and by thy traffick H7404 hast thou increased H7235 (HiphPerf) thy riches, H2428 and thine heart H3824 is lifted up H1361 (QalImpf) because of thy riches: H2428 [6] Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because thou hast set H5414 (QalInf) thine heart H3820 as the heart H3824 of God; H430 [7] behold, therefore I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) strangers H2114 (QalPtc) upon thee, the terrible H6184 of the nations: H1471 and they shall draw H7324 (HiphPerf) their swords H2719 against the beauty H3308 of thy wisdom, H2451 and they shall defile H2490 (PielPerf) thy brightness. H3314 [8] They shall bring thee down H3381 (HiphImpf) to the pit, H7845 and thou shalt die H4191 (QalPerf) the deaths H4463 of them that are slain H2491 in the midst H3820 of the seas. H3220 [9] Wilt thou yet H559 (QalInf) say H559 (QalImpf) before H6440 him that slayeth H2026 (QalActPtc)§ thee, I am God? H430 but thou shalt be a man, H120 and no God, H410 in the hand H3027 of him that slayeth H2490 (PielPtc) thee. [10] Thou shalt die H4191 (QalImpf) the deaths H4194 of the uncircumcised H6189 by the hand H3027 of strangers: H2114 (QalPtc) for I have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [11] Moreover the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [12] Son H1121 of man, H120 take up H5375 (QalImpv) a lamentation H7015 upon the king H4428 of Tyrus, H6865 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto him, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Thou sealest up H2856 (QalActPtc) the sum, H8508 full H4392 of wisdom, H2451 and perfect H3632 in beauty. H3308 [13] Thou hast been in Eden H5731 the garden H1588 of God; H430 every 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 (PulaPerf) in thee in the day H3117 that thou wast created. H1254 (NiphInf) [14] Thou art the anointed H4473 cherub H3742 that covereth; H5526 (QalActPtc) and I have set H5414 (QalPerf) thee so: thou wast upon the holy H6944 mountain H2022 of God; H430 thou hast walked up and down H1980 (HithPerf) in the midst H8432 of the stones H68 of fire. H784 [15] Thou wast perfect H8549 in thy ways H1870 from the day H3117 that thou wast created, H1254 (NiphInf) till iniquity H5766 was found H4672 (NiphPerf) in thee. [16] By the multitude H7230 of thy merchandise H7404 they have filled H4390 (QalPerf) the midst H8432 of thee with violence, H2555 and thou hast sinned: H2398 (QalImpf) therefore I will cast thee as profane H2490 (PielImpf) out of the mountain H2022 of God: H430 and I will destroy H6 (PielImpf) thee, O covering H5526 (QalActPtc) cherub, H3742 from the midst H8432 of the stones H68 of fire. H784 [17] Thine heart H3820 was lifted up H1361 (QalPerf) because of thy beauty, H3308 thou hast corrupted H7843 (PielPerf) thy wisdom H2451 by reason of H5921 thy brightness: H3314 I will cast H7993 (HiphPerf) thee to the ground, H776 I will lay H5414 (QalPerf) thee before H6440 kings, H4428 that they may behold H7200 (QalInf) thee. [18] Thou hast defiled H2490 (PielPerf) thy sanctuaries H4720 by the multitude H7230 of thine iniquities, H5771 by the iniquity H5766 of thy traffick; H7404 therefore will I bring forth H3318 (HiphImpf) a fire H784 from the midst H8432 of thee, it shall devour H398 (QalPerf) thee, and I will bring H5414 (QalImpf) thee to ashes H665 upon the earth H776 in the sight H5869 of all them that behold H7200 (QalActPtc) thee. [19] All they that know H3045 (QalActPtc) thee among the people H5971 shall be astonished H8074 (QalPerf) at thee: thou shalt be a terror, H1091§ and never H369 shalt thou be any more. H5704 [20] Again the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [21] Son H1121 of man, H120 set H7760 (QalImpv) thy face H6440 against Zidon, H6721 and prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) against it, [22] and say, H559 (QalPerf) Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; H6721 and I will be glorified H3513 (NiphPerf) in the midst H8432 of thee: and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord, H3068 when I shall have executed H6213 (QalInf) judgments H8201 in her, and shall be sanctified H6942 (NiphPerf) in her. [23] For I will send H7971 (PielPerf) into her pestilence, H1698 and blood H1818 into her streets; H2351 and the wounded H2491 shall be judged H5307 (PilePerf) in the midst H8432 of her by the sword H2719 upon her on every side; H5439 and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [24] And there shall be no more a pricking H3992 (HiphPtc) brier H5544 unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 nor any grieving H3510 (HiphPtc) thorn H6975 of all that are round about H5439 them, that despised H7590 (QalPtc) them; and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord H136 God. H3069 [25] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 When I shall have gathered H6908 (PielInf) the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from the people H5971 among whom they are scattered, H6327 (NiphPerf) and shall be sanctified H6942 (NiphPerf) in them in the sight H5869 of the heathen, H1471 then shall they dwell H3427 (QalPerf) in their land H127 that I have given H5414 (QalPerf) to my servant H5650 Jacob. H3290 [26] And they shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) safely H983§ therein, and shall build H1129 (QalPerf) houses, H1004 and plant H5193 (QalPerf) vineyards; H3754 yea, they shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) with confidence, H983 when I have executed H6213 (QalInf) judgments H8201 upon all those that despise H7590 (QalPtc)§ them round about H5439 them; and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord H3068 their God.
