1	THE word of the LORD came to me, saying,	The word of the LORD came to me:	The word of the LORD came to me:
2	Son of man, say to the king of Tyre, Thus says the LORD God: Because your heart is lifted up and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas; and yet you are a man, and not God, though you think of your heart as though it were the heart of God;	“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,’ yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god—	“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’In the pride of your heart you say, “I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.” But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god.
3	Perhaps you are wiser than Daniel, or you have seen hidden things by your wisdom;	you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you;	Are you wiser than Daniel? Is no secret hidden from you?
4	With your understanding you have become powerful, and have gotten silver and gold into your treasures;	by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;	By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
5	By your great wisdom and by your trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches;	by your great wisdom in your trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth—	By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud.
6	Therefore thus says the LORD God: Because you think of your heart as though it were the heart of God;	therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you make your heart like the heart of a god,	“’Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god,
7	Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the mightiest of the nations, and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your glory.	therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you, the most ruthless of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.	I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor.
8	They shall bring you down to ruin, and you shall die the death of those who are slain in the midst of the seas.	They shall thrust you down into the pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas.	They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
9	Perhaps you will still say before those who slay you, I am God. Yet you are but a man, and no God, in the hands of those who slay you.	Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you?	Will you then say, “I am a god,” in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you.
10	You shall die by the hand of uncircumcised strangers; for I have spoken it, says the LORD God.	You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”	You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”
11	Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,	Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me:	The word of the LORD came to me:
12	Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the LORD God: You were the seal of wisdom and the crown of beauty.	“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: “You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.	“Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13	You have been in Eden, the garden of God; you were decked with every precious stone, the sardius, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire and pearls; and you have filled your treasuries with gold and your chests with precious stones; you had all of these things from the day you were created.	You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared.	You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.
14	You were with the anointed cherub that shelters; and I have set you on the holy mountain of God; and you were safe in the midst of the stones of fire.	You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.	You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
15	You were perfect in your ways, from the day that you were created till iniquity was found in you.	You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you.	You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
16	By the multitude of your merchandise you have filled your land with iniquity and you have sinned; therefore I will cast you from the mountain of God; and I will destroy you, O sheltering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.	In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.	Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
17	Since your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, now your wisdom and your beauty are corrupted; I will cast you to the ground before kings, that you may be a spectacle before them.	Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.	Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.
18	By the multitude of your frauds, by the iniquity of your traffic, you have defiled your sanctuary; therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, and it shall devour you, and I will reduce you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those who see you.	By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you.	By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
19	All those who know you among the people shall be astonished at you; you shall be brought to destruction, and you never shall be any more.	All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.”	All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”
20	The word of the LORD came to me, saying,	The word of the LORD came to me:	The word of the LORD came to me:
21	Son of man, set your face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,	“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her	“Son of man, set your face against Sidon; prophesy against her
22	And say, Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you; and the people shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her.	and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will manifest my glory in your midst. And they shall know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her and manifest my holiness in her;	and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’I am against you, Sidon, and among you I will display my glory. You will know that I am the LORD, when I inflict punishment on you and within you am proved to be holy.
23	For I will send her pestilence and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword that is upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.	for I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall in her midst, by the sword that is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.	I will send a plague upon you and make blood flow in your streets. The slain will fall within you, with the sword against you on every side. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
24	And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a thorn to cause them pain from all that are round about them, and that curse them; and they shall know that I am the LORD God.	“And for the house of Israel there shall be no more a brier to prick or a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.	“’No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.
25	Thus says the LORD God: When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified by them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in the land which I have given to my servant Jacob.	“Thus says the Lord GOD: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob.	“’This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26	And they shall dwell in it safely, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence after I have executed judgments on all those who hurt them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.	And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”	They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”
