| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, "I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea." Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Yes, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you! |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4By your wisdom and understanding you have acquired wealth for yourself. You have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"'Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as that of a god, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I am about to bring strangers against you, ruthless men from the nations. They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will pierce your splendor. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the sea. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Will you still say, "I am a god," in the presence of those who slay you? Yet you will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of strangers. For I have spoken. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.'" |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"Son of man, lament for the king of Tyre and say to him, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone covered you: carnelian, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold; they were prepared on the day you were created. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Through the abundance of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I expelled you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and banished you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom. So I threw you down to the ground; I made you a spectacle before kings. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You profaned your sanctuaries by the magnitude of your iniquities in your dishonest trade. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of everyone watching you. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19All those who know you among the peoples are appalled at you. You have become an object of horror and will never exist again.'" |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21"Son of man, face Sidon and prophesy against it. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22You are to say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: Look! I am against you, Sidon, and I will display my glory within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate my holiness through her. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I will send a plague against her and bloodshed in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"'The house of Israel will no longer be hurt by prickly briers or painful thorns from all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"'This is what the Lord GOD says: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples where they are scattered, I will demonstrate my holiness through them in the sight of the nations, and they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26They will live there securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will live securely when I execute judgments against all their neighbors who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.'" |
