Ezekiel 28:13

Chapter 28

A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre

1The word of the LORD came to me: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 man and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.

3Are you wiser than DanielOr Danel; the Hebrew spelling may suggest a person other than the prophet Daniel.?
Is no secret hidden from you?

4By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.

5By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.

6”‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“‘Because you think you are wise,
as wise as a god,

7I 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.

8They will bring you down to the pit,
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas.

9Will you then say, “I am a god,”
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who slay you.

10You will die the death of the uncircumcised
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”

11The word of the LORD came to me:12“Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“‘You were the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz and emerald,
chrysolite, onyx and jasper,
sapphire,Or lapis lazuli turquoise and beryl.The precise identification of some of these precious stones is uncertain.
Your settings and mountingsThe meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.

14You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.

15You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.

16Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.

17Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.

18By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.

19All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’”
