| 1The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, | 1The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2"Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas'; Yet you are a man and not God, Although you make your heart like the heart of God-- | 2“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,’ yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god— |
| 3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you. | 3you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you; |
| 4"By your wisdom and understanding You have acquired riches for yourself And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries. | 4by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; |
| 5"By your great wisdom, by your trade You have increased your riches And your heart is lifted up because of your riches-- | 5by your great wisdom in your trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth— |
| 6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have made your heart Like the heart of God, | 6therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you make your heart like the heart of a god, |
| 7Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, The most ruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor. | 7therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you, the most ruthless of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. |
| 8'They will bring you down to the pit, And you will die the death of those who are slain In the heart of the seas. | 8They shall thrust you down into the pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas. |
| 9'Will you still say, "I am a god," In the presence of your slayer, Though you are a man and not God, In the hands of those who wound you? | 9Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you? |
| 10'You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!"'" | 10You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.” |
| 11Again the word of the LORD came to me saying, | 11Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 12"Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. | 12“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: “You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. |
| 13"You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. | 13You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared. |
| 14"You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. | 14You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked. |
| 15"You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. | 15You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. |
| 16"By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. | 16In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. |
| 17"Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. | 17Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. |
| 18"By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. | 18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. |
| 19"All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."'" | 19All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.” |
| 20And the word of the LORD came to me saying, | 20The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 21"Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, prophesy against her | 21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her |
| 22and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, And I will be glorified in your midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her, And I will manifest My holiness in her. | 22and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will manifest my glory in your midst. And they shall know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her and manifest my holiness in her; |
| 23"For I will send pestilence to her And blood to her streets, And the wounded will fall in her midst By the sword upon her on every side; Then they will know that I am the LORD. | 23for I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall in her midst, by the sword that is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD. |

Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD. |
| 25'Thus says the Lord GOD, "When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob. | 25“Thus says the Lord GOD: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. |
| 26"They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God."'" | 26And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.” |
