* And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , * Son of man , say unto the prince of Tyre , Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because thy heart is lifted up , and thou hast said , I am a �god , I sit [in ] the seat of God , in the heart of the seas , (and thou art a man , and not �God ,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God : * behold , thou art wiser than Daniel ! nothing secret is obscure for thee ; * by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches , and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures ; * by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches , and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches . * Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God , * therefore behold , I will bring strangers upon thee , the terrible of the nations ; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom , and they shall tarnish thy brightness . * They shall bring thee down to the pit , and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas . * Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee , I am God ? but thou shalt be a man , and not �God , in the hand of him that pierceth thee . * Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised , by the hand of strangers : for I have spoken [it ], saith the Lord Jehovah . * And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , * Son of man , take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre , and say unto him , Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Thou , who sealest up the measure of perfection , full of wisdom and perfect in beauty , * thou wast in Eden , the garden of God . Every precious stone was thy covering : the sardius , the topaz , and the diamond , the chrysolite , the onyx , and the jasper , the sapphire , the carbuncle , and the emerald , and gold . The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee : in the day that thou wast created were they prepared . * Thou wast the anointed covering cherub , and I had set thee [so ]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God ; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire . * Thou wast perfect in thy ways , from the day that thou wast created , till unrighteousness was found in thee . * By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence , and thou hast sinned ; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God , and have destroyed thee , O covering cherub , from the midst of the stones of fire . * Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty ; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness : I have cast thee to the ground , I have laid thee before kings , that they may behold thee . * By the multitude of thine iniquities , by the unrighteousness of thy traffic , thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries : and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee -- it hath consumed thee ; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth , in the sight of all them that behold thee . * All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee : thou art become a terror , and thou shalt never be any more .
