chapter 28
1
And
the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 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.
3 Behold thou art wiser than Daniel: no secret is hid
from thee.
4 In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made
thyself strong: and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures.
5 By the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic
thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength.
6 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart
is lifted up as the heart of God:
7 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.
8 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.
9 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?
10 Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the
hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of
man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:
12 And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast
the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy
creation, until iniquity was found in thee.
16 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.
17 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.
18 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.
19 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.
20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou
shalt prophesy of it,
22 And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I
come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and
they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and
shall be sanctified in her.
23 And I will send into her pestilence, and blood in
her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the
midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 And the house of Israel shall have no more a
stumblingblock of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round
about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the
Lord God.
25 Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered
together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I
will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their
own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall
build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when
I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about:
and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
