1. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Human, say to the ruler of Tyre: 'This is what the Lord God says: Because you are proud, you say, "I am a god. I sit on the throne of a god in the middle of the seas." You think you are as wise as a god, but you are a human, not a god.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , say H559 unto the prince H5057 of Tyrus H6865 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thine heart H3820 is lifted up H1361 , and thou hast said H559 , I H589 am a God H410 , I sit H3427 in the seat H4186 of God H430 , in the midst H3820 of the seas H3220 ; yet thou H859 art a man H120 , and not H3808 God H410 , though thou set H5414 thine heart H3820 as the heart H3820 of God H430 :
|
|
3. You think you are wiser than Daniel. You think you can find out all secrets.
|
3. Behold H2009 , thou H859 art wiser H2450 than Daniel H4480 H1840 ; there is no H3808 secret H5640 that they can hide H6004 from thee:
|
|
4. Through your wisdom and understanding you have made yourself rich. You have gained gold and silver and have saved it in your storerooms.
|
4. With thy wisdom H2451 and with thine understanding H8394 thou hast gotten H6213 thee riches H2428 , and hast gotten H6213 gold H2091 and silver H3701 into thy treasures H214 :
|
|
5. Through your great skill in trading, you have made your riches grow. You are too proud because of your riches.
|
5. By thy great H7230 wisdom H2451 and by thy traffic H7404 hast thou increased H7235 thy riches H2428 , and thine heart H3824 is lifted up H1361 because of thy riches H2428 :
|
|
6. "'So this is what the Lord God says: You think you are wise like a god,
|
6. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thou hast set H5414 H853 thine heart H3820 as the heart H3820 of God H430 ;
|
|
7. but I will bring foreign people against you, the cruelest nation. They will pull out their swords and destroy all that your wisdom has built, and they will dishonor your greatness.
|
7. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I will bring H935 strangers H2114 upon H5921 thee , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 : and they shall draw H7324 their swords H2719 against H5921 the beauty H3308 of thy wisdom H2451 , and they shall defile H2490 thy brightness H3314 .
|
|
8. They will kill you; you will die a terrible death like those who are killed at sea.
|
8. They shall bring thee down H3381 to the pit H7845 , and thou shalt die H4191 the deaths H4463 of them that are slain H2491 in the midst H3820 of the seas H3220 .
|
|
9. While they are killing you, you will not be able to say anymore, "I am a god." You will be only a human, not a god, when your murderers kill you.
|
9. Wilt thou yet say H559 H559 before H6440 him that slayeth H2026 thee, I H589 am God H430 ? but thou H859 shalt be a man H120 , and no H3808 God H410 , in the hand H3027 of him that slayeth H2490 thee.
|
|
10. You will die like an unclean person; foreigners will kill you. I have spoken, says the Lord God.'"
|
10. Thou shalt die H4191 the deaths H4194 of the uncircumcised H6189 by the hand H3027 of strangers H2114 : for H3588 I H589 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
11. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
|
11. Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
12. "Human, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre. Say to him: 'This is what the Lord God says: You were an example of what was perfect, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
|
12. Son H1121 of man H120 , take up H5375 a lamentation H7015 upon H5921 the king H4428 of Tyrus H6865 , and say H559 unto him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Thou H859 sealest up H2856 the sum H8508 , full H4392 of wisdom H2451 , and perfect H3632 in beauty H3308 .
|
|
13. You had a wonderful life, as if you were in Eden, the garden of God. Every valuable gem was on you: ruby, topaz, and emerald, yellow quartz, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and chrysolite. Your jewelry was made of gold. It was prepared on the day you were created.
|
13. Thou hast been H1961 in Eden H5731 the garden H1588 of God H430 ; every H3605 precious H3368 stone H68 was thy covering H4540 , the sardius H124 , topaz H6357 , and the diamond H3095 , the beryl H8658 , the onyx H7718 , and the jasper H3471 , the sapphire H5601 , the emerald H5306 , and the carbuncle H1304 , and gold H2091 : the workmanship H4399 of thy tabrets H8596 and of thy pipes H5345 was prepared H3559 in thee in the day H3117 that thou wast created H1254 .
|
|
14. I appointed a living creature to guard you. I put you on the holy mountain of God. You walked among the gems that shined like fire.
|
14. Thou H859 art the anointed H4473 cherub H3742 that covereth H5526 ; and I have set H5414 thee so : thou wast H1961 upon the holy H6944 mountain H2022 of God H430 ; thou hast walked up and down H1980 in the midst H8432 of the stones H68 of fire H784 .
|
|
15. Your life was right and good from the day you were created, until evil was found in you.
|
15. Thou H859 wast perfect H8549 in thy ways H1870 from the day H4480 H3117 that thou wast created H1254 , till H5704 iniquity H5766 was found H4672 in thee.
|
|
16. Because you traded with countries far away, you learned to be cruel, and you sinned. So I threw you down in disgrace from the mountain of God. And the living creature who guarded you forced you out from among the gems that shined like fire.
|
16. By the multitude H7230 of thy merchandise H7404 they have filled H4390 the midst H8432 of thee with violence H2555 , and thou hast sinned H2398 : therefore I will cast thee as profane H2490 out of the mountain H4480 H2022 of God H430 : and I will destroy H6 thee , O covering H5526 cherub H3742 , from the midst H4480 H8432 of the stones H68 of fire H784 .
|
|
17. You became too proud because of your beauty. You ruined your wisdom because of your greatness. I threw you down to the ground. Your example taught a lesson to other kings.
|
17. Thine heart H3820 was lifted up H1361 because of thy beauty H3308 , thou hast corrupted H7843 thy wisdom H2451 by reason of H5921 thy brightness H3314 : I will cast H7993 thee to H5921 the ground H776 , I will lay H5414 thee before H6440 kings H4428 , that they may behold H7200 thee.
|
|
18. You dishonored your places of worship through your many sins and dishonest trade. So I set on fire the place where you lived, and the fire burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground for all those watching to see.
|
18. Thou hast defiled H2490 thy sanctuaries H4720 by the multitude H4480 H7230 of thine iniquities H5771 , by the iniquity H5766 of thy traffic H7404 ; therefore will I bring forth H3318 a fire H784 from the midst H4480 H8432 of thee, it H1931 shall devour H398 thee , and I will bring H5414 thee to ashes H665 upon H5921 the earth H776 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 them that behold H7200 thee.
|
|
19. All the nations who knew you are shocked about you. Your punishment was so terrible, and you are gone forever.'"
|
19. All H3605 they that know H3045 thee among the people H5971 shall be astonished H8074 at H5921 thee : thou shalt be H1961 a terror H1091 , and never H369 shalt thou be any more H5704 H5769 .
|
|
20. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
|
20. Again the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
21. "Human, look toward the city of Sidon and prophesy against her.
|
21. Son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H413 Zidon H6721 , and prophesy H5012 against H5921 it,
|
|
22. Say: 'This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Sidon, and I will show my glory among you. when I have punished Sidon; I will show my holiness by defeating her.
|
22. And say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 thee , O Zidon H6721 ; and I will be glorified H3513 in the midst H8432 of thee : and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I shall have executed H6213 judgments H8201 in her , and shall be sanctified H6942 in her.
|
|
23. I will send diseases to Sidon, and blood will flow in her streets. Those who are wounded in Sidon will fall dead, attacked from all sides. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
|
23. For I will send H7971 into her pestilence H1698 , and blood H1818 into her streets H2351 ; and the wounded H2491 shall be judged H5307 in the midst H8432 of her by the sword H2719 upon H5921 her on every side H4480 H5439 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
24. "'No more will neighboring nations be like thorny branches or sharp stickers to hurt Israel. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
|
24. And there shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 a pricking H3992 brier H5544 unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , nor any grieving H3510 thorn H6975 of all H4480 H3605 that are round about H5439 them , that despised H7590 them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
25. "'This is what the Lord God says: I will gather the people of Israel from the nations where they are scattered. I will show my holiness when the nations see what I do for my people. Then they will live in their own land -- the land I gave to my servant Jacob.
|
25. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; When I shall have gathered H6908 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 from H4480 the people H5971 among whom H834 they are scattered H6327 , and shall be sanctified H6942 in them in the sight H5869 of the heathen H1471 , then shall they dwell H3427 in H5921 their land H127 that H834 I have given H5414 to my servant H5650 Jacob H3290 .
|
|
26. They will live safely in the land and will build houses and plant vineyards. They will live in safety after I have punished all the nations around who hate them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.'"
|
26. And they shall dwell H3427 safely H983 therein H5921 , and shall build H1129 houses H1004 , and plant H5193 vineyards H3754 ; yea , they shall dwell H3427 with confidence H983 , when I have executed H6213 judgments H8201 upon all H3605 those that despise H7590 them round about H4480 H5439 them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 their God H430 .
