1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, say­ing, 2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause thine heart is lift­ed up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 3 Be­hold, thou art wis­er than Daniel; there is no se­cret that they can hide from thee: 4 With thy wis­dom and with thine un­der­stand­ing thou hast got­ten thee rich­es, and hast got­ten gold and sil­ver into thy trea­sures: 5 By thy great wis­dom and by thy traf­fick hast thou in­creased thy rich­es, and thine heart is lift­ed up be­cause of thy rich­es: 6 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7 Be­hold, there­fore I will bring strangers upon thee, the ter­ri­ble of the na­tions: and they shall draw their swords against the beau­ty of thy wis­dom, and they shall de­file thy bright­ness. 8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9 Wilt thou yet say be­fore him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the un­cir­cum­cised by the hand of strangers: for I have spo­ken it, saith the Lord GOD. 11 More­over the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 12 Son of man, take up a lamen­ta­tion upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wis­dom, and per­fect in beau­ty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the gar­den of God; ev­ery pre­cious stone was thy cov­er­ing, the sardius, topaz, and the di­a­mond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sap­phire, the emer­ald, and the car­bun­cle, and gold: the work­man­ship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was pre­pared in thee in the day that thou wast cre­at­ed. 14 Thou art the anoint­ed cherub that cov­ereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy moun­tain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast per­fect in thy ways from the day that thou wast cre­at­ed, till in­iq­ui­ty was found in thee. 16 By the mul­ti­tude of thy mer­chan­dise they have filled the midst of thee with vi­o­lence, and thou hast sinned: there­fore I will cast thee as pro­fane out of the moun­tain of God: and I will de­stroy thee, O cov­er­ing cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lift­ed up be­cause of thy beau­ty, thou hast cor­rupt­ed thy wis­dom by rea­son of thy bright­ness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee be­fore kings, that they may be­hold thee. 18 Thou hast de­filed thy sanc­tu­ar­ies by the mul­ti­tude of thine in­iq­ui­ties, by the in­iq­ui­ty of thy traf­fick; there­fore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall de­vour thee, and I will bring thee to ash­es upon the earth in the sight of all them that be­hold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the peo­ple shall be as­ton­ished at thee: thou shalt be a ter­ror, and nev­er shalt thou be any more. 20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 21 Son of man, set thy face against Zi­don, and proph­esy against it, 22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I am against thee, O Zi­don; and I will be glo­ri­fied in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have ex­e­cut­ed judg­ments in her, and shall be sanc­ti­fied in her. 23 For I will send into her pesti­lence, and blood into her streets; and the wound­ed shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on ev­ery side; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 24 And there shall be no more a prick­ing brier unto the house of Is­rael, nor any griev­ing thorn of all that are round about them, that de­spised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gath­ered the house of Is­rael from the peo­ple among whom they are scat­tered, and shall be sanc­ti­fied in them in the sight of the hea­then, then shall they dwell in their land that I have giv­en to my ser­vant Ja­cob. 26 And they shall dwell safe­ly there­in, and shall build hous­es, and plant vine­yards; yea, they shall dwell with con­fi­dence, when I have ex­e­cut­ed judg­ments upon all those that de­spise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
