28 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.
