¹The word of Yahweh was to me, saying:

²Son of the man, say to the ruler of Tyre: Like this said Adonai Yahweh: Because your heart has been haughty, and you said, I am God, I have dwelled in the dwelling-place of God, in the heart of the seas — yet you are a man and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God.

³Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is kept dark from you.

⁴By your wisdom and by your understanding you acquired wealth for yourself, and you acquired gold and silver in your treasuries.

⁵In the multitude of your wisdom, in your merchandise you multiplied your wealth, and your heart was haughty in your wealth.

⁶Therefore, like this said Adonai Yahweh: Because you set your heart as the heart of God,

⁷Therefore behold, I am bringing foreigners upon you, the ruthless of the nations; they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and profane your brightness.

⁸To the pit they will bring you down, and you will die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.

⁹Will you surely say, I am God, before the face of your killer? Yet you are a man and not God in the hand of those who pierce you.

¹⁰You will die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, the utterance of Adonai Yahweh.

¹¹The word of Yahweh was to me, saying:

¹²Son of the man, lift up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him: Like this said Adonai Yahweh: You are a sealer of measure, full of wisdom and complete in splendor.

¹³In Eden, the garden of God, you were; every rare stone was your covering — ruby, topaz, and diamond, chrysolite, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; and gold, the work of your tambourines and your settings, was in you; in the day you were created, they were established.

¹⁴You were a cherub, outspread, the one who covers; and I set you on the holy mountain of God; you were in the middle of the stones of fire, you walked about.

¹⁵Blameless were you in your ways from the day you were created, until injustice was found in you.

¹⁶In the multitude of your merchandise your middle was filled with violence, and you sinned; so I profaned you from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O cherub who covers, from the middle of the stones of fire.

¹⁷Your heart was haughty in your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom over your brightness; upon the land I threw you, before the face of kings I set you, to look at you.

¹⁸From the multitude of your guilt, in the injustice of your merchandise you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought out fire from your middle, it consumed you, and I set you to ashes on the land, to the eyes of all those who saw you.

¹⁹All those who knew you among the peoples were appalled over you; you became terrors, and you are no more, forever.

²⁰The word of Yahweh was to me, saying:

²¹Son of the man, put your face to Sidon, and prophesy against it.

²²And say: Like this said Adonai Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be honored in your middle; and they will know that I am Yahweh when I carry out judgments in it; and I will be set apart in it.

²³I will send into it a pestilence, and blood in its streets, and the slain will fall in its middle by the sword against it from round about; and they will know that I am Yahweh.

²⁴And there will be no more for the house of Israel a brier that pricks and a thorn that causes pain, from all round about them, those who despise them; and they will know that I am Adonai Yahweh.

²⁵Like this said Adonai Yahweh: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they were scattered; I will be set apart among them before the eyes of the nations; and they will dwell on their ground which I gave to my slave, to Jacob.

²⁶And they will dwell on it in security, and they will build houses, and they will plant vineyards, and they will dwell in security when I carry out judgments on all those who despise them from round about them; and they will know that I am Yahweh their God.
