1. Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2. Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
3. behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
4. by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5. by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—
6. therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8. They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
9. Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am God? but you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.
11. Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
12. Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
14. You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16. By the abundance of your traffic they filled your insides with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
