ASV_Strong : Ezekiel 28
1. The word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came again unto me[H559], saying,
2. Son[H1121] of man[H120], say[H559] unto the prince[H5057] of Tyre[H6865], Thus says[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because your heart[H3820] is lifted up[H1361], and you have said[H559], I am a god[H410], I sit[H3427] in the seat[H4186] of God[H430], in the midst[H3820] of the seas[H3220]; yet you are man[H120], and not God[H410], though you did set[H5414] your heart[H3820] as the heart[H3820] of God[H430];—
3. behold[H2450], you are wiser than Daniel[H1840]; there is no secret[H5640] that is hidden from you[H5640];
4. by your wisdom[H2451] and by your understanding[H8394] you have gotten[H6213] you riches[H2428], and have gotten[H6213] gold[H2091] and silver[H3701] into your treasures[H214];
5. by your great[H7230] wisdom[H2451] and by your traffic[H7404] have you increased[H7235] your riches[H2428], and your heart[H3824] is lifted up[H1361] because of your riches[H2428];—
6. therefore thus says[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because you have set[H5414] your heart[H3820] as the heart[H3824] of God[H430],
7. therefore[H935], behold, I will bring strangers[H2114] upon you[H6184], the terrible of the nations[H1471]; and they shall draw[H7324] their swords[H2719] against the beauty[H3308] of your wisdom[H2451], and they shall defile[H2490] your brightness[H3314].
8. They shall bring you down[H3381] to the pit[H7845]; and you shall die[H4191] the death[H4463] of them that are slain[H2491], in the heart[H3820] of the seas[H3220].
9. Will you yet[H559] say[H559] before[H6440] him that slays[H2026] you[H430], I am God? but you are man[H120], and not God[H410], in the hand[H3027] of him that woundeth you[H2490].
10. You shall die[H4191] the death[H4194] of the uncircumcised[H6189] by the hand[H3027] of strangers[H2114]: for I have spoken[H1696] it[H5002], says the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].
11. Moreover the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
12. Son[H1121] of man[H120], take up[H5375] a lamentation[H7015] over the king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865], and say[H559] unto him[H559], Thus says the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: You sealest up[H2856] the sum[H8508], full[H4392] of wisdom[H2451], and perfect[H3632] in beauty[H3308].
13. You were in Eden[H5731], the garden[H1588] of God[H430]; every precious[H3368] stone[H68] was your covering[H4540], the sardius[H124], the topaz[H6357], and the diamond[H3095], the beryl[H8658], the onyx[H7718], and the jasper[H3471], the sapphire[H5601], the emerald[H5306], and the carbuncle[H1304], and gold[H2091]: the workmanship[H4399] of your tabrets[H8596] and of your pipes[H5345] was in you[H3117]; in the day that you were created[H1254] they were prepared[H3559].
14. You were the anointed[H4473] cherub[H3742] that covers[H5526]: and I set[H5414] you[H6944], so that you were upon the holy mountain[H2022] of God[H430]; you have walked up and down[H1980] in the midst[H8432] of the stones[H68] of fire[H784].
15. You were perfect[H8549] in your ways[H1870] from the day[H3117] that you were created[H1254], until unrighteousness[H5766] was found in you[H4672].
16. By the abundance[H7230] of your traffic[H7404] they filled[H4390] the midst[H8432] of you with violence[H2555], and you have sinned[H2398]: therefore have I cast you as profane[H2490] out of the mountain[H2022] of God[H430]; and I have destroyed[H6] you[H5526], O covering cherub[H3742], from the midst[H8432] of the stones[H68] of fire[H784].
17. Your heart[H3820] was lifted up[H1361] because of your beauty[H3308]; you have corrupted[H7843] your wisdom[H2451] by reason of[H5921] your brightness[H3314]: I have cast[H7993] you to the ground[H776]; I have laid[H5414] you before[H6440] kings[H4428], that they may behold you[H7200].
18. By the multitude[H7230] of your iniquities[H5771], in the unrighteousness[H5766] of your traffic[H7404], you have profaned[H2490] your sanctuaries[H4720]; therefore have I brought forth[H3318] a fire[H784] from the midst[H8432] of you[H398]; it has devoured you[H5414], and I have turned you to ashes[H665] upon the earth[H776] in the sight[H5869] of all them that behold you[H7200].
19. All they that know[H3045] you among the peoples[H5971] shall be astonished[H8074] at you[H1091]: you are become a terror, and you shall[H369] nevermore have any being[H5704].
20. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
21. Son[H1121] of man[H120], set[H7760] your face[H6440] toward Sidon[H6721], and prophesy against it[H5012],
22. and say[H559], Thus says[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Behold[H6721], I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified[H3513] in the midst[H8432] of you[H3045]; and they shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068], when I shall have executed[H6213] judgments[H8201] in her[H6942], and shall be sanctified in her.
23. For I will send[H7971] pestilence[H1698] into her[H1818], and blood into her streets[H2351]; and the wounded[H2491] shall fall[H5307] in the midst[H8432] of her[H2719], with the sword upon her on every side[H5439]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068].
24. And there shall be no more a pricking[H3992] brier[H5544] unto the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], nor a hurting[H3510] thorn[H6975] of any that are round about[H5439] them[H7590], that did despite unto them[H3045]; and they shall know that I am the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].
25. Thus says[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: When I shall have gathered[H6908] the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] from the peoples[H5971] among whom they are scattered[H6327], and shall be sanctified[H6942] in them in the sight[H5869] of the nations[H1471], then shall they live[H3427] in their own land[H127] which I gave[H5414] to my servant[H5650] Jacob[H3290].
26. And they shall live[H3427] securely[H983] in it[H1129]; Yes, they shall build houses[H1004], and plant[H5193] vineyards[H3754], and shall live[H3427] securely[H983], when I have executed[H6213] judgments[H8201] upon all those that do them despite[H7590] round about[H5439] them[H3045]; and they shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430].
