Ezekiel 28
Literal Standard Version Par ▾ 
1And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because your heart has been high, "" And you say: I [am] a god, "" I have inhabited the habitation of God, "" In the heart of the seas, "" And you [are] man, and not God, "" And you give out your heart as the heart of God,

3Behold, you [are] wiser than Daniel, "" No hidden thing have they concealed from you.

4By your wisdom and by your understanding "" You have made wealth for yourself, "" And make gold and silver in your treasuries.

5By the abundance of your wisdom, "" Through your merchandise, "" You have multiplied your wealth, "" And your heart is high through your wealth.

6Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your giving out your heart as the heart of God,

7Therefore, behold, I am bringing in strangers against you, "" The terrible of the nations, "" And they have drawn out their swords "" Against the beauty of your wisdom, "" And they have pierced your brightness.

8They bring you down to destruction, "" You die by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.

9Do you really say, I [am] God, "" Before him who is slaying you? And you [are] man, and not God, "" In the hand of him who is piercing you.

10You die the deaths of the uncircumcised, "" By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken,” "" A declaration of Lord YHWH.

11And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

12“Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, "" And you have said to him, Thus said Lord YHWH: You are sealing up a measurement, "" Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13You have been in Eden, the garden of God, "" Every precious stone [was] your covering, "" Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, "" Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, "" The workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes, "" In you in the day of your being produced, have been created;

14And I established you as the anointed, covering cherub, "" You have been in [the] holy mountain of God, "" You have walked up and down in [the] midst of [the] stones of fire.

15You [were] perfect in your ways, "" From [the] day of your being created, "" Until perversity was found in you.

16By [the] abundance of your merchandise "" They have filled your midst with violence, "" And you sin, "" And I thrust you from [the] mountain of God, "" And I destroy you, O covering cherub, "" From [the] midst of [the] stones of fire.

17Your heart has been high because of your beauty, "" You have corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness, "" I have cast you to earth, "" I have set you before kings, to look on you,

18From [the] abundance of your iniquity, "" By [the] perversity of your merchandise, "" You have defiled your sanctuaries, "" And I bring forth fire from your midst, "" It has devoured you, "" And I make you become ashes on the earth, "" In [the] eyes of all beholding you.

19All knowing you among the peoples "" Have been astonished at you, "" You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time.”

20And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, 21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy concerning it;

22and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Sidon, "" And I have been honored in your midst, "" And they have known that I [am] YHWH, "" In My doing judgments in her, "" And I have been sanctified in her.

23And I have sent pestilence into her, "" And blood into her out-places, "" The wounded has been judged in her midst, "" By the sword on her all around, "" And they have known that I [am] YHWH.

24And there is no more pricking brier and paining thorn "" For the house of Israel, "" Of all around them—despising them, "" And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.

25Thus said Lord YHWH: In My gathering the house of Israel, "" Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, "" I have been sanctified in them, "" Before the eyes of the nations, "" And they have dwelt on their ground, "" That I gave to My servant, to Jacob, 26And they have dwelt confidently on it, "" And built houses, and planted vineyards, "" And dwelt confidently—in My doing judgments, "" On all those despising them all around, "" And they have known that I [am] their God YHWH!”
