Ezekiel 28

²“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says:

³behold, you are wiser than Daniel.

⁴By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,

⁵By your great wisdom

⁶“‘therefore the Lord GOD says:

⁷therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,

⁸They will bring you down to the pit.

⁹Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?

¹⁰You will die the death of the uncircumcised

¹¹Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

¹²“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says:

¹³You were in Eden,

¹⁴You were the anointed cherub who covers.

¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,

¹⁶By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence,

¹⁷Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty.

¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities,

¹⁹All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you.

²⁰The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

²¹“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

²²and say, ‘The Lord GOD says:

²³For I will send pestilence into her,

²⁴“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

²⁵“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

²⁶They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
