Ezekiel 28

28:1And the word of the lord came to me, saying,

28:2And you, O son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre! Thus says Adonai the lord; because your heart was raised up high, and you said, I am the God, I inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea. But you are a man, and not God, and you made your heart as the heart of God.

28:3Are you wiser than Daniel, or did not the wise correct you with their higher knowledge?

28:4Is it by your higher knowledge, or in your intelligence you produced for yourself power, and you procured gold and silver among your treasures?

28:5Or by your much higher knowledge and in your trade did you multiply your power, and raise up high your heart by your power?

28:6On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; Since you imputed your heart as the heart of God;

28:7for this, behold, I bring upon you strange pestilent ones from the nations. And they shall empty out their swords against you; against the beauty of your higher knowledge; and they shall spread your beauty unto destruction.

28:8And they shall bring you down, and you shall die by death of the slain in the heart of the sea.

28:9In saying, will you say, I am God, in the presence of the ones doing away with you? But you are a man, and not God in the hand of ones piercing you.

28:10In deaths of the uncircumcised you shall die by the hands of strangers; for I spoke, says Adonai the lord.

28:11And came the word of the lord to me, saying,

28:12O son of man, take a lamentation over the ruler of Tyre, and say to him! Thus says Adonai the lord; You are a seal of likeness full of wisdom, and a crown of beauty.

28:13You were in the luxury of the paradise of God; you bound on every precious stone -- sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and amber, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx. And with gold you filled up your treasuries and your storehouses among you.

28:14From which day you were created and were carefully prepared with the cherub being anointed by God, and encamping in the tent, even I put you on the holy mount of God; you existed among the midst of the stones of fire.

28:15You were unblemished in your days of which day you were created, until of which time the offences were found in you.

28:16From the abundance of your trade you filled your storerooms with lawlessness, and sinned. And you were wounded from the mountain of God, and the cherub overshadowing led you from out of the midst of the stones of fire.

28:17Your heart was raised up high over your beauty; your higher knowledge was corrupted with your beauty because of the multitude of your sins. I tossed you upon the earth; I put you before kings to be made an example.

28:18Because of the multitude of your sins and the iniquities of your trade you profaned your temples; and I will lead fire from out of your midst, this shall devour you; and I will put you for ashes upon the earth before all the ones seeing you.

28:19And all the ones knowing you among the nations shall be gloomy over you; you became for destruction, and you shall not exist any longer into the eon.

28:20And the word of the lord came to me, saying,

28:21O son of man, firmly fix your face against Sidon, and prophesy against it!

28:22And say! Thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I am against you Sidon; and I shall be glorified in you. And you shall know that I am the lord, in my executing judgments among you; and I shall be sanctified among you.

28:23And I shall send out against you death and blood in your squares; and there shall fall men being wounded by swords among you, surrounding you; and they shall know that I am the lord.

28:24And there will not be any longer in the house of Israel a barb of bitterness, nor a thorn of grief from all the ones surrounding them, of the ones dishonoring them; and they shall know that I am Adonai the lord.

28:25Thus says Adonai the lord; And I will gather the house of Israel from out of the nations of which they were dispersed there. And I will be sanctified among them before the peoples, and the nations. And they shall dwell upon their land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

28:26And they shall dwell upon it in hope. And they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell in hope, whenever I execute judgment on all the ones dishonoring them, among the ones round about them; and they shall know that I am the lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
