* The word of the LORD came again unto me , saying , * Son of man , say unto the prince of Tyre , Thus hath the Lord GOD said : Because thy heart has lifted [thee ] up and thou hast said , I [am ] God , I sit [in ] the seat of God , in the midst of the seas (yet thou [art ] man , and not God ); and thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God : * behold , thou [art ] wiser than Daniel ; there is no secret that they can hide from thee : * with thy wisdom and with thine intelligence thou hast gotten thee riches and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures : * by the greatness of thy wisdom in thy trafficking thou hast multiplied thy riches , and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches : * therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said : Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God , * behold , therefore I will bring strangers upon thee , the strong ones of the Gentiles , and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom , and they shall defile thy brightness . * They shall bring thee down to the pit , and thou shalt die of the death of [those that are ] slain in the midst of the seas . * Wilt thou yet say before him that slays thee , I [am ] God ? but thou [shalt be ] a man , and not God , in the hand of him that slays thee . * Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers : for I have spoken , said the Lord GOD . * And the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , raise up lamentations upon the king of Tyre and say unto him , Thus hath the Lord GOD said : Thou dost seal up the sum [of perfection ], full of wisdom , and completed in beauty . * Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God ; every precious stone [was ] thy covering : the sardius , topaz , diamond , turquoise , onyx , and beryl , the sapphire , ruby , and emerald , and gold ; the works of thy tambourines and of thy pipes were prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created . * Thou , great cherubim , [wast ] covered , and I placed thee ; thou wast in the holy mountain of God ; thou hast walked among stones of fire . * Thou [wast ] perfect in all thy ways from the day that thou wast created , until iniquity was found in thee . * Because of the multitude of thy trafficking thou wast filled with violence , and thou hast sinned ; and [I ]cast thee out of the mountain of God , and I cast thee unto evil from among the stones of fire , O cherubim [that wast ] covered . * Thine heart lifted thee up because of thy beauty ; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness ; I will cast thee to the earth ; I will expose thee before the kings , that they may behold thee . * Thou hast defiled thy sanctuary by the multitude of thine iniquities , by the iniquity of thy trafficking ; therefore I brought forth fire from the midst of thee , which has consumed thee , and I brought thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those that behold thee . * All those that knew thee from among the peoples shall marvel over thee ; thou hast been [greatly ] disturbed , and thou shalt not exist again forever . * And the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , set thy face against Zidon and prophesy against her * and say , Thus hath the Lord GOD said : Behold , I [am ] against thee , O Zidon ; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee ; and they shall know that I [am ] the LORD , when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her . * For I will send into her pestilence and blood into her streets ; and the dead shall fall in the midst of her , by the sword upon her on every side ; and they shall know that I [am ] the LORD . * And there shall no longer be a pricking brier unto the house of Israel , nor [any ] thorn that causes him pain , round about [them ] of those that despise them ; and they shall know that I [am ] the Lord GOD . * Thus hath the Lord GOD said : When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered and shall be sanctified in them in the eyes of the Gentiles , then they shall dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob . * And they shall dwell safely therein and shall build houses and plant vineyards ; and they shall dwell with confidence , when I have executed judgments in all those that spoil them round about them ; and they shall know that I [am ] the LORD their God .:
