Ezekiel 28 (WEBP)

[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.” ’ ”

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 28 (YLT)

[1] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
[2] ‘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] 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,
[7] 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] To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.
[9] 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] 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] ‘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] 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] 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] Perfect art thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.
[16] 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] 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.
[19] 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] ‘Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy concerning it;
[22] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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!’
