Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thussaith the Lord GOD; Becausethineheart is lifted up, and thouhastsaid, 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, thoughthou set thineheart as the heart of God:
Behold, therefore I willbringstrangersuponthee, the terrible of the nations: and theyshalldrawtheirswordsagainst the beauty of thy wisdom, and theyshalldefile thy brightness.
Son of man, take up a lamentationupon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thussaith the Lord GOD; Thousealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thouhastbeen in Eden the garden of God; everypreciousstone 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 thatthouwastcreated.
Thou art the anointedcherubthatcovereth; and I have set thee so: thouwastupon the holymountain of God; thouhastwalked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
By the multitude of thy merchandisetheyhavefilled the midst of theewithviolence, and thouhastsinned: therefore I willcastthee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I willdestroythee, O coveringcherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thineheart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thouhastcorrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I willcastthee to the ground, I will lay theebeforekings, thatthey may beholdthee.
Thouhastdefiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thineiniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; thereforewill I bringforth a firefrom the midst of thee, it shalldevourthee, and I willbringthee to ashesupon the earth in the sight of all themthatbeholdthee.
And say, Thussaith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am againstthee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and theyshallknowthat I am the LORD, when I shallhaveexecutedjudgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
For I willsendinto her pestilence, and bloodinto her streets; and the woundedshall be judged in the midst of her by the swordupon her on everyside; and theyshallknowthat I am the LORD.
And thereshall be no more a prickingbrierunto the house of Israel, nor any grievingthorn of all that are roundaboutthem, thatdespisedthem; and theyshallknowthat I am the Lord GOD.
Thussaith the Lord GOD; When I shallhavegathered the house of Israelfrom the peopleamongwhomthey are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, thenshalltheydwell in theirlandthat I havegiven to my servantJacob.
And theyshalldwellsafelytherein, and shallbuildhouses, and plantvineyards; yea, theyshalldwellwithconfidence, when I haveexecutedjudgmentsupon all thosethatdespisethemroundaboutthem; and theyshallknowthat I am the LORDtheir God.
