Ezekiel - ch 28 v 1 - 20
- And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
- Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and T sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were the heart of God.
- Behold thou art wiser than Daniel: no secret is hid from thee.
- In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures.
- By the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength.
- Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up as the heart of God:
- Therefore behold, I will bring upon thee strangers the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty.
- They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea.
- Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee?
- Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
- And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:
- And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
- Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone teas thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created.
- Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
- Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee.
- By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire.
- And thy heart was lifted up with thy beauty: thou best lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the ground: I have set thee before the face of kings, that they might behold thee.
- Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see thee.
- All that shall see thee among the nations, shall be astonished at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
- And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
