Ezekiel
About the king of Tyre
28
1 The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms, 
2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre:
2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: 3 You consider yourself wiser than Daniel;
3 no secret is hidden from you.
4 Your wisdom and know-how have earned you a fortune,
4 gold and silver flowed to your treasury.
5 Clever in trade, you became wealthy
5 and as your fortune increased,
5 your heart became prouder.
6 But now Yahweh has spoken to you,
6 to the one who is like God:
7 I am bringing foreigners against you,
7 the most feared of all the nations.
7 Their sword will challenge your wisdom and debase your refined culture.
8 They will bring you down to the pit
8 and you will die in the depths of the sea.
9 Will you be able to say ‘I am a god’
9 when your murderers are killing you?
9 You are a man and not a god.
10 You will die the death of the un circumcised and perish at the hands of aliens,
10 for I have spoken – word of Yahweh.”
11 The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms, 12 “Son of man, intone a lamentation for the king of Tyre and say to him: This is what Yahweh says:
12 You were the model of perfection,
12 full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald. 14 I anointed you a guardian angel
14 on the holy mountain of God
14 where you walked amidst the spirits of God.
15 You were perfect in your ways
15 from the day you were created
15 until wickedness was found in you.
17 your heart was proud because of your beauty.
17 As your splendor corrupted your wisdom I have cast you down to the ground
17 and exposed you before kings,
17 a spectacle in their sight.
18 Your many sins and dishonest trade
18 have filled and defiled your sanctuaries.
18 Then I made fire break out in you
18 and reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who looked on.
19 The nations who knew you are appalled.
19 You have become an object of terror; you have gone forever.”
20 The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms, 21 “Look towards Si don and prophesy against her. You will say:
21 “Look towards Si don and prophesy against her. You will say: 22 Thus says Yahweh: I come against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in you. When I inflict punishment on her and make known my holiness, they will know I am Yah weh. 23 I will send pestilence against her and shed blood in her streets. The sword is directed against her from all sides and they will know I am Yahweh when the victims fall.
24 No longer will there be for the people of Israel thorns that wound or briers that prick them among their neighbors. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
25 Thus says Yahweh: When I gather Israel from among the nations where she has been dispersed, I will use them to show the nations my holiness and they will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 They will live safely, build houses and plant vineyards. They will live in safety when I punish all those neighbors who treated them with contempt and they will know that I am Yahweh, their God.”
