A Prophecy against the Ruler of Tyre
1 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
2 Son of man say to the Prince of Tyre: Thus saith our Lord God: For that thy heart is elevated, and thou hast said: I am God, and I have sitten in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast given thy heart as the heart of God.📜💬📚
3 Lo thou art wiser than Daniel: every secret is not hid from thee.📜💬📚
4 In thy wisdom and thy prudence thou hast made thee strength: and hast gotten gold, and silver in thy treasures.📜💬📚
5 In the multitude of thy wisdom, & in thy merchandise thou hast multiplied strength to thee: and thy heart is elevated in thy strength.📜💬📚
6 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: For that thy heart is elevated as the heart of God:📜💬📚
7 therefore behold I will bring upon thee strangers, the strongest of the Gentiles: and they shall draw their swords upon the beauty of thy wisdom, and shall pollute thy comeliness.📜💬📚
8 They shall kill, and pluck thee down: and thou shalt die in the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.📜💬📚
9 Why, shalt thou speak saying: I am God, before them that kill thee: whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee?📜💬📚
10 By the death of the uncircumcised shalt thou die in the hand of strangers: because I have spoken, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
A Lament for the King of Tyre
11 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying: Son of man lift up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:📜💬📚
12 and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith our Lord God: Thou the signet of similitude, full of wisdom, and perfect of beauty,📜💬📚
13 thou wast in the delicacies of the paradise of God: every precious stone thy covering: sardius, topatius, and the jasper, chrysolithus, and onyx, and berillus, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: & thy pipes were prepared in the day, that thou wast created.📜💬📚
14 Thou Cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mount of God, in the midst of fiery stones thou hast walked.📜💬📚
15 Perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee.📜💬📚
16 In the multitude of thy merchandise, thine inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou didst sin: and I cast thee out from the mount of God, and destroyed thee o Cherub protecting, out of the midst of the fiery stones.📜💬📚
17 And thy heart was elevated in thy beauty: thou hast lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the earth: before the face of kings I have given thee, that they might behold thee.📜💬📚
18 In the multitude of thine iniquities, and in the iniquity of thy merchandise, thou hast polluted thy sanctification: I will therefore bring forth a fire out of the midst of thee, to eat thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see thee.📜💬📚
19 All that shall see thee in the Gentiles, shall be astonished upon thee: thou art become a thing of naught, and thou shalt not be for ever.📜💬📚
A Prophecy against Sidon
20 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
21 Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it,📜💬📚
22 and shalt say: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall do judgements in it, and shall be sanctified in it.📜💬📚
23 And I will send into it pestilence, and blood in the streets thereof: and the slain shall fall in the midst thereof by the sword round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
24 And there shall be no more scandal of bitterness to the house of Israel, & thorn causing pain on every side round about them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.📜💬📚
Restoration of Israel
25 Thus saith our Lord God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the peoples, in which they are dispersed: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.📜💬📚
26 And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, & shall dwell confidently, when I shall have done judgements in all, that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.📜💬📚
