katapi HOME Ezekiel 28:1-10 - Prophecy against the king of Tyre.  Eze.28.1-10

28 1 The word of Yahweh came to me: 28 2 "Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says Yahweh GOD:

"Because your heart is proud,
and you have said, 'I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,'
yet you are but a man, and no god,
though you consider yourself as wise as a god -
28 3 you are indeed wiser than Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
28 4 by your wisdom and your understanding
you have gotten wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
28 5 by your great wisdom in trade
you have increased your wealth,
and your heart has become proud in your wealth -
28 6 therefore thus says Yahweh GOD:
"Because you consider yourself
as wise as a god,
28 7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you,
the most terrible of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom
and defile your splendour.
28 8 They shall thrust you down into the Pit,
and you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.
28 9 Will you still say, 'I am a god,'
in the presence of those who slay you,
though you are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who wound you?
28 10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
for I have spoken, says Yahweh GOD."
