1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god I sit in the seat of God in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not ·God) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God
3. behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee;
4. by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
5. by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.
6. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God
7. therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.
8. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas.
9. Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God but thou shalt be a man, and not ·God in the hand of him that pierceth thee.
10. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
11. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
12. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,
13. thou wast in Eden, the garden of God Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.
14. Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
