Book 14 : NEVIIM - EZEKIEL - Chapter 028
28:001
And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying
28:002
'Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the
L-rd GOD: because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am a god, I sit
in the seat of G-d, in the heart of the seas; yet thou art man, and not G-d,
though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of G-d-
28:003
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! there is no secret that
they can hide from thee
28:004
By thy wisdom and by thy discernment thou hast gotten thee
riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures
28:005
In thy great wisdom by thy traffic hast thou increased thy
riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches-
28:006
Therefore thus saith the L-rd GOD: because thou hast set
thy heart as the heart of G-d
28:007
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 defile thy brightness
28:008
They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die
the deaths of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas
28:009
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee: I am G-d?
But thou art man, and not G-d, in the hand of them that defile thee
28:010
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand
of strangers; for I have spoken, saith the L-rd GOD.
28:011
Moreover the word of HaShem came unto me, saying
28:012
'Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre,
and say unto him: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Thou seal most accurate, full of
wisdom, and perfect in beauty
28:013
thou wast in Eden the garden of G-d; every precious stone
was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the
onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold;
the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that
thou wast created they were prepared
28:014
Thou wast the far-covering cherub; and I set thee, so that
thou wast upon the holy mountain of G-d; thou hast walked up and down in the
midst of stones of fire
28:015
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till unrighteousness was found in thee
28:016
By the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of
thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane
out of the mountain of G-d; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from
the midst of the stones of fire
28:017
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I have cast thee to the
ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may gaze upon thee
28:018
By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the
unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore
have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I
have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold
thee
28:019
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be
appalled at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
28:020
And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying
28:021
'Son of man, set thy face toward Zidon, and prophesy
against it
28:022
and say: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Behold, I am against
thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know
that I am HaShem, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be
sanctified in her
28:023
For I will send into her pestilence and blood in her
streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword upon her on
every side; and they shall know that I am HaShem
28:024
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house
of Israel, nor a piercing thorn of any that are round about them, that did have
them in disdain; and they shall know that I am the L-rd GOD
28:025
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: When I shall have gathered the
house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be
sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their
own land which I gave to My servant Jacob
28:026
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build
houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell safely; when I have executed
judgments upon all those that have them in disdain round about them; and they
shall know that I am HaShem their G-d.
