| 1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 1This message came to me from the LORD: |
| 2“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that 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. | 2"Son of Man, tell Tyre's Commander-in-Chief, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "Because your heart is arrogant, and because you keep saying, 'I have taken my seat, I am a god, seated in God's seat right in the middle of the sea,' and because you're a man, and not a god, even though you pretend that you have a god-like heart… |
| 3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you! | 3Look! You're wiser than Daniel, aren't you? No secret is too mysterious for you! |
| 4By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries. | 4Your wisdom and understanding brought you phenomenal wealth. You've brought gold and silver into your treasuries. |
| 5By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it. | 5By your great wisdom, by your skills in trading you have amassed wealth for yourself and your heart has become arrogant because of your wealth." |
| 6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god, | 6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "Because you've made your heart like that of God |
| 7behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor. | 7Therefore, look! I'm bringing foreigners in your direction, the most terrifying of nations! They will direct their violence against the grandeur that you've created by your wisdom. |
| 8They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas. | 8They'll send you down to the Pit, and you'll die defiled in the depths of the sea. |
| 9Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you. | 9Is that when you'll say, 'I'm God' to the face of those who will be killing you? After all, you're a man, and have never been a god, especially when you're under the control of those who will defile you! |
| 10You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.” | 10You will die a death fit for the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners." 'for I have said it will be so,' declares the LORD." |
| 11Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 11Another message came to me from the LORD, and this is what it said: |
| 12“Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. | 12"Son of Man, start singing this lamentation for the king of Tyre. Tell him, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "You served as my model, my example of complete wisdom and perfect beauty. |
| 13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation. | 13You used to be in Eden— God's paradise! You wore precious stones for clothing: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and carbuncle. Your settings were crafted in gold, along with your engravings. On the day of your creation they had been prepared! |
| 14You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones. | 14 "You were the anointed cherub; having been set in place on the holy mountain of God, you walked in the midst of fiery stones. |
| 15From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you. | 15You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created until wickedness was discovered in you. |
| 16By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. | 16Since your vast business dealings filled you with violent intent from top to bottom, you sinned, so I cast you away as defiled from the mountain of God. I destroyed you, you guardian cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. |
| 17Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings. | 17Your heart grew arrogant because of your beauty; you annihilated your own wisdom because of your splendor. Then I threw you to the ground in the presence of kings, giving them a good look at you! |
| 18By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you. | 18By all of your iniquity and unrighteous businesses you defiled your sanctuaries, so I'm going to bring out fire from within you and burn you to ashes on the earth before the whole watching world! |
| 19All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’ ” | 19Everyone who knows you throughout all the nations will be appalled at your calamity and you will no longer exist forever."'" |
| 20Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 20Another message came to me from the LORD, who had this to say: |
| 21“Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her. | 21"Son of Man, turn your attention to Sidon and prophesy against her. |
| 22And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her. | 22Tell her: 'Pay attention to me, Sidon! I'm against you, and I'm going to glorify myself right in your midst.' They'll learn that I am the LORD when I carry out these punishments and manifest my holiness in her midst. |
| 23I will send a plague against her and shed blood 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. | 23I'm going to send disease into that city and blood into her streets. People will drop dead in her midst from the violence done to her from every side. Then they'll learn that I am the Lord GOD." |
| 24For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’ | 24"The house of Israel will never again suffer from painful briers and sharp thorn bushes that surround them on every side, and they will learn that I am the LORD. |
| 25This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob. | 25This is what the Lord GOD says: 'When I gather the house of Israel from the nations to which I've scattered them, I will show them my holiness before the watching world, and they will live on the land that I gave to my servant Jacob. |
| 26And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’ ” | 26They will live in safety in the land, building houses and planting vineyards. They'll live in safety while I judge everyone who maligns them among those who surround them. At that time they'll learn that I am the LORD their God.'" |
