Tyre's
King Overthrown |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 28:1
|
|
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:2
|
|
"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-- |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:3
|
|
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is
no secret that is a match for you. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:4
|
|
"By your wisdom and understanding You have acquired
riches for yourself And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:5
|
|
"By your great wisdom, by your trade You have
increased your riches And your heart is lifted up because of your riches-- |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:6
|
|
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you
have made your heart Like the heart of God, |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:7
|
|
Therefore, 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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:8
|
|
'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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:9
|
|
'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? |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:10
|
|
'You will die the death of the uncircumcised
By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!"'" |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:11
|
|
Again the word of the LORD came to me saying,
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:12
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:13
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:14
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:15
|
|
"You were blameless in your ways From the day
you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:16
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:17
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:18
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:19
|
|
"All who know you among the peoples Are appalled
at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."'" |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Judgment of Sidon |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:20
|
|
And the word of the LORD came to me saying,
|
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:21
|
|
"Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, prophesy
against her |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:22
|
|
and 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:23
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:24
|
|
"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." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Israel Regathered |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:25
|
|
'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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 28:26
|
|
"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."'" |
