Ezekiel:28:1-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word of the LORD came again unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
say unto the prince of Tyrus ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thine heart is lifted up ,
and thou hast said ,
I am a God ,
I sit in the seat of God ,
in the midst of the seas ;
yet thou art a man ,
and not God ,
though thou 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 understanding thou hast gotten thee riches ,
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures :
*
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches ,
and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches :
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God ;
*
Behold ,
therefore 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 defile thy brightness .
*
They shall bring thee down to the pit ,
and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas .
*
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee ,
I am God ?
but thou shalt be a man ,
and no God ,
in the hand of him that slayeth thee .
*
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers :
for I have spoken it ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus ,
and say unto him ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Thou sealest up the sum ,
full of wisdom ,
and perfect in beauty .
*
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God ;
every precious stone was thy covering ,
the sardius ,
topaz ,
and the diamond ,
the beryl ,
the onyx ,
and the jasper ,
the sapphire ,
the emerald ,
and the carbuncle ,
and gold :
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created .
*
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth ;
and I have set thee so :
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God ;
thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire .
*
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created ,
till iniquity was found in thee .
*
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence ,
and thou hast sinned :
therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God :
and I will destroy thee ,
O covering cherub ,
from the midst of the stones of fire .
*
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty ,
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness :
I will cast thee to the ground ,
I will lay thee before kings ,
that they may behold thee .
*
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities ,
by the iniquity of thy traffick ;
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee ,
it shall devour thee ,
and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee .
*
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee :
thou shalt be a terror ,
and never shalt thou be any more .
