## Text

[1] And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Your heart is proud,
and you have said,
‘I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the heart of the sea.’
Yet you are a man and not a god,
though you have regarded your heart
as that of a god. [3] Behold, you are wiser than Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you! [4] By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained your wealth
and amassed gold and silver
for your treasuries. [5] By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
but your heart has grown proud
because of it. [6] Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:
Because you regard your heart
as the heart of a god, [7] behold, I will bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations.
They will draw their swords
against the beauty of your wisdom
and will defile your splendor. [8] They will bring you down to the Pit,
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas. [9] Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who slay you?
You will be only a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who wound you. [10] You will die the death of the uncircumcised
at the hands of foreigners.
For I have spoken,
declares the Lord GOD.” [11] Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [12] “Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says:
‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. [13] You were in Eden,
the garden of God.
Every kind of precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, turquoise, and emerald.
Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold,
prepared on the day of your creation. [14] You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for I had ordained you.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the fiery stones. [15] From the day you were created
you were blameless in your ways—
until wickedness was found in you. [16] By the vastness of your trade,
you were filled with violence, and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace
from the mountain of God,
and I banished you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones. [17] Your heart grew proud of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor;
so I cast you to the earth;
I made you a spectacle before kings. [18] By the multitude of your iniquities
and the dishonesty of your trading
you have profaned your sanctuaries.
So I made fire come from within you,
and it consumed you.
I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the eyes of all who saw you. [19] All the nations who know you
are appalled over you.
You have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’” [20] Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [21] “Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her. [22] And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says:
‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,
and I will be glorified within you.
They will know that I am the LORD
when I execute judgments against her
and demonstrate My holiness through her. [23] I will send a plague against her
and shed blood in her streets;
the slain will fall within her,
while the sword is against her on every side.
Then they will know that I am the LORD. [24] For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’ [25] This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob. [26] And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”
