Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA
New International Version NIV
1 The Lord spoke to me.
1
The word of the LORD came to me:
2 "Mortal man," he said, "tell the ruler of Tyre what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to him: Puffed up with pride, you claim to be a god. You say that like a god you sit on a throne, surrounded by the seas. You may pretend to be a god, but, no, you are mortal, not divine.
2
“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “ ‘In the pride of your heart you say, “I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.” But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god.
3 You think you are wiser than Danel, that no secret can be kept from you.
3
Are you wiser than Daniel ? Is no secret hidden from you?
4 Your wisdom and skill made you rich with treasures of gold and silver.
4
By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 You made clever business deals and kept on making profits. How proud you are of your wealth!
5
By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud.
6 "Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: Because you think you are as wise as a god,
6
“ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “ ‘Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god,
7 I will bring ruthless enemies to attack you. They will destroy all the beautiful things you have acquired by skill and wisdom.
7
I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor.
8 They will kill you and send you to a watery grave.
8
They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
9 When they come to kill you, will you still claim that you are a god? When you face your murderers, you will be mortal and not at all divine.
9
Will you then say, “I am a god,” in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you.
10 You will die like a dog at the hand of godless foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have given the command."
10
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.’ ”
11 The Lord spoke to me again.
