| 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, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'Your heart is proud and you 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 a god, though you think you are godlike. |
| 3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you. | 3Look, you are 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 understanding you have gained wealth for yourself; you have amassed gold and silver in 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 skill in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart is proud because of your wealth. |
| 6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have made your heart Like the heart of God, | 6"'Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Because you think you are godlike, |
| 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. | 7I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom, and they will 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 will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently 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," before the one who kills you--though you are a man and not a god--when you are in the power of those who wound you? |
| 10'You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!"'" | 10You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD.'" |
| 11Again the word of the LORD came to me saying, | 11The 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, sing a lament for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'You were the sealer 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, the ruby, topaz, and emerald, the chrysolite, onyx, and jasper, the sapphire, turquoise, and beryl; your settings and mounts were made of gold. On the day 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. | 14I placed you there with an anointed guardian cherub; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked about amidst fiery stones. |
| 15"You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. | 15You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created, until sin was discovered 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, and you sinned; so I defiled you and banished you from the mountain of God--the guardian cherub expelled you 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 on account of your splendor. I threw you down to the ground; I placed you before kings, that they might see 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, through the sinfulness of your trade, you desecrated your sanctuaries. So I drew fire out from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes 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 shocked at you; you have become terrified and will be no more.'" |
| 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, turn toward Sidon and prophesy against it. |
| 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. | 22Say, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'Look, I am against you, Sidon, and I will magnify myself in your midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments on her and reveal my sovereign power 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. | 23I will send a plague into the city and bloodshed into its streets; the slain will fall within it, by the sword that attacks it from every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD. |
| 24"And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD." | 24"'No longer will Israel suffer from the sharp briers or painful thorns of all who surround and scorn them. Then they will know that I am the sovereign LORD. |
| 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"'This is what the sovereign LORD says: When I regather the house of Israel from the peoples where they are dispersed, I will reveal my sovereign power over them in the sight of the nations, and they will live in their 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."'" | 26They will live securely in it; they will build houses and plant vineyards. They will live securely when I execute my judgments on all those who scorn them and surround them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.'" |
