"Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, 'Thussays the LordGOD, "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 -
7
Therefore, behold, I will bringstrangers upon you, The mostruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swordsAgainst the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor.
12
"Son of man, take up a lamentationover the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thussays the LordGOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13
"You were in Eden, the garden of God; Everypreciousstone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapislazuli, 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.
14
"You were the anointedcherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holymountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
16
"By the abundance of your trade You were internallyfilled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O coveringcherub, 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 beforekings, That they may see you.
18
"By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have broughtfire 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.

23
"For I will sendpestilence to her And blood to her streets, And the wounded will fall in her midst By the sword upon her on everyside; Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24
"And there will be nomore for the house of Israel a pricklingbrier or a painfulthorn from anyroundabout them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the LordGOD."
25
'Thussays the LordGOD, "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 landwhich I gave to My servantJacob.
26
"They will live in it securely; and they will buildhouses, plantvineyards and livesecurely when I executejudgments upon all who scorn them roundabout them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.""'
