Ezekiel 27

1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
2 As for you, son of man, utter a lament over Tyre,
3 and say to Tyre that is situated at the approaches of the sea, that brought the trade of the peoples to many a coastland: Thus says the Lord GOD: Tyre, you said, I am a ship, perfect in beauty.
4 In the midst of the sea your builders placed you, perfected your beauty.
5 With cypress from Senir they built for you all of your decks; Cedar from Lebanon they took to make you a mast;
6 From the highest oaks of Bashan they made your oars; Your bridge they made of cypress wood from the coasts of Kittim.
7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt became your sail (to serve you as a banner). Purple and scarlet from the coasts of Elishah covered your cabin.
8 Citizens of Sidon and Arvad served as your oarsmen; Skilled men of Zemer were in you to be your mariners;
9 The elders and experts of Gebal were in you to caulk your seams. Every ship and sailor on the sea came to you to carry trade.
10 Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as warriors; shield and helmet they hung upon you, increasing your splendor.
11 The men of Arvad were all about your walls, and the Gamadites were in your towers; they hung their bucklers all around on your walls, and made perfect your beauty.
12 Tarshish traded with you, so great was your wealth, exchanging silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares.
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were also traders with you, exchanging slaves and articles of bronze for your goods.
14 From Beth-togarmah horses, steeds, and mules were exchanged for your wares.
15 The Rhodanites trafficked with you; many coastlands traded with you; ivory tusks and ebony wood they gave you for payment.
16 Edom traded with you, so many were your products, exchanging garnets, purple, embroidered cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your wares.
17 Judah and the land of Israel trafficked with you, exchanging Minnith wheat, figs, honey, oil, and balm for your goods.
18 Damascus traded with you, so great was your wealth, exchanging Helbon wine and Zahar wool.
19 Javan exchanged wrought iron, cassia, and aromatic cane from Uzal for your wares.
20 Dedan traded with you for riding gear.
21 The trade of Arabia and of all the sheikhs of Kedar belonged to you; they dealt in lambs, rams, and goats.
22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah also traded with you, exchanging for your wares the very choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold.
23 Haran, Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad
24 traded with you, marketing with you rich garments, violet mantles, embroidered cloth, varicolored carpets, and firmly woven cords.
25 Ships of Tarshish journeyed for you in your merchandising. You were full and heavily laden in the heart of the sea.
26 Through the deep waters your oarsmen brought you home, But the east wind smashed you in the heart of the sea.
27 Your wealth, your goods, your wares, your sailors, and your crew, (the caulkers of your seams, those who traded for your goods, all your warriors who were in you, and all the great crowd within you) Sank into the heart of the sea on the day of your shipwreck.
28 Hearing the shouts of your mariners, the shores begin to quake.
29 Down from their ships come all who ply the oar; The sailors, all the mariners of the sea, stand on the shore,
30 Making their voice heard on your behalf, shouting bitter cries, Strewing dust on their heads, rolling in the ashes.
31 For you they shave their heads and put on sackcloth, For you they weep in anguish, with bitter lament.
32 In their mourning they utter a lament over you; thus they wail over you: Who was ever destroyed like Tyre in the midst of the sea?
33 With your goods which you drew from the seas you filled many peoples; With your great wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are wrecked in the sea, in the watery depths; Your wares and all your crew have gone down with you.
35 All who dwell on the coastlands are aghast over you, Their kings are terrified, their faces convulsed.
36 The traders among the peoples now hiss at you; You have become a horror, and you shall be no more.

Ezekiel 28

1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are haughty of heart, you say, A god am I! I occupy a godly throne in the heart of the sea!--And yet you are a man, and not a god, however you may think yourself like a god.
3 Oh yes, you are wiser than Daniel, there is no secret that is beyond you.
4 By your wisdom and your intelligence you have made riches for yourself; You have put gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 By your great wisdom applied to your trading you have heaped up your riches; your heart has grown haughty from your riches--
6 therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have thought yourself to have the mind of a god,
7 Therefore I will bring against you foreigners, the most barbarous of nations. They shall draw their swords against your beauteous wisdom, they shall run them through your splendid apparel.
8 They shall thrust you down to the pit, there to die a bloodied corpse, in the heart of the sea.
9 Will you then say, I am a god! when you face your murderers? No, you are a man, not a god, handed over to those who will slay you.
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners, for I have spoken, says the Lord GOD.
11 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
12 Son of man, utter a lament over the king of Tyre, saying to him: Thus says the Lord GOD: You were stamped with the seal of perfection, of complete wisdom and perfect beauty.
13 In Eden, the garden of God, you were, and every precious stone was your covering (carnelian, topaz, and beryl, chrysolite, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, garnet, and emerald); Of gold your pendants and jewels were made, on the day you were created.
14 With the Cherub I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God, walking among the fiery stones.
15 Blameless you were in your conduct from the day you were created, Until evil was found in you,
16 the result of your far-flung trade; violence was your business, and you sinned. Then I banned you from the mountain of God; the Cherub drove you from among the fiery stones.
17 You became haughty of heart because of your beauty; for the sake of splendor you debased your wisdom. I cast you to the earth, so great was your guilt; I made you a spectacle in the sight of kings.
18 Because of your guilt, your sinful trade, I have profaned your sanctuaries, And I have brought out fire from your midst which will devour you. I have reduced you to dust on the earth in the sight of all who should see you.
19 Among the peoples, all who knew you stand aghast at you; You have become a horror, you shall be no more.
20 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
21 Son of man, look toward Sidon, and prophesy against it:
22 Thus says the Lord GOD: See! I am coming at you, Sidon; I will be glorified in your midst. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I inflict punishments upon it and use it to manifest my holiness.
23 Into it I will send pestilence, and blood shall flow in its streets. Within it shall fall those slain by the sword that comes against it from every side. Thus they shall know that I am the LORD.
24 Sidon shall no longer be a tearing thorn for the house of Israel, a brier that scratches them more than all the others about them who despise them; thus they shall know that I am the LORD.
25 Thus says the Lord GOD: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, then I will manifest my holiness through them in the sight of the nations. Then they shall live on their land which I gave to my servant Jacob;
26 they shall live on it in security, building houses and planting vineyards. They shall dwell secure while I inflict punishments on all their neighbors who despised them; thus they shall know that I, the LORD, am their God.
