Ezekiel 28:1-19

28¹ The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, ² Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God: ³ See, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which is deeper than your knowledge: ⁴ By your wisdom and deep knowledge you have got power for yourself, and put silver and gold in your store-houses: ⁵ By your great wisdom and by your trade your power is increased, and your heart is lifted up because of your power: ⁶ For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God, ⁷ See, I am sending against you strange men, feared among the nations: they will let loose their swords against your bright wisdom, they will make your glory a common thing. ⁸ They will send you down to the underworld, and your death will be the death of those who are put to the sword in the heart of the seas. ⁹ Will you say, in the face of those who are taking your life, I am God? but you are man and not God in the hands of those who are wounding you. ¹⁰ Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.

¹¹ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹² Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful; ¹³ You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready. ¹⁴ I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire. ¹⁵ There has been no evil in your ways from the day when you were made, till sin was seen in you. ¹⁶ Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire. ¹⁷ Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you. ¹⁸ By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you. ¹⁹ All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.
