A Prophecy against the Ruler of Tyre
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 28:92Th 2:4Isa 14:13-14Isa 31:3Pro 16:18Psa 9:20Act 12:22-23Isa 2:12
Your heart is proud,
and you have said,
‘I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the heart of the sea.’
Yet you are a man and not a god,
though you have regarded your heart
as that of a god.
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; Dan 1:20Dan 2:22Dan 2:27-281Ki 10:31Ki 4:29-32Dan 5:11-12Job 15:8Psa 25:14
no secret is hidden from you!
By your wisdom and understanding Deu 8:17-18Pro 18:11Pro 23:4-5Ecc 9:11Ezk 29:3Hab 1:16Zec 9:2-4
you have gained your wealth
and amassed gold and silver
for your treasuries.
By your great skill in trading Psa 52:7Psa 62:10Ezk 28:2Hos 13:6Hos 12:7-8Jas 4:13-14Pro 11:281Ti 6:17
you have increased your wealth,
but your heart has grown proud
because of it.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 28:2Exo 9:171Co 10:222Th 2:4Jas 1:11Job 40:9-12Job 9:4
Because you regard your heart
as the heart of a god,
behold, I will bring foreigners against you, Ezk 31:12Ezk 30:11Ezk 32:12Hab 1:6-8Amo 3:6Dan 7:7Deu 28:49-50Ezk 26:7-14
the most ruthless of nations.
They will draw their swords
against the beauty of your wisdom
and will defile your splendor.
They will bring you down to the Pit, Ezk 27:26-27Ezk 27:34Ezk 32:18-30Isa 38:17Job 17:16Job 33:18Job 33:28Pro 1:12
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas.
Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ Ezk 28:2Isa 31:3Psa 82:7Act 12:22-23Dan 4:31-32Dan 5:23-30
in the presence of those who slay you?
You will be only a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who wound you.
You will die the death of the uncircumcised Ezk 31:18Ezk 32:191Sa 17:261Sa 17:36Ezk 32:21Php 3:3Act 7:51Ezk 11:9
at the hands of foreigners.
For I have spoken,
declares the Lord GOD.”
A Lament for the King of Tyre
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 19:1Ezk 26:172Co 1:22Col 1:9Col 2:3Jas 3:13-181Co 1:19-201Co 3:19
‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, Ezk 28:15Ezk 27:16Gen 2:8Isa 54:11-12Isa 51:3Exo 28:17-20Exo 39:10-21Ezk 31:8-9
the garden of God.
Every kind of precious stone adorned you: 1
ruby, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, 2 turquoise, and emerald.
Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold,
prepared on the day of your creation.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, Exo 30:26Isa 14:12-15Exo 40:9Ezk 20:40Ezk 28:13Exo 25:17-20Exo 9:16Psa 75:5-7
for I had ordained you.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
From the day you were created 2Pe 2:4Ezk 28:17-18Gen 1:26-27Rom 7:9Ezk 27:3-4Ezk 28:12Ezk 28:3-6Lam 5:16
you were blameless in your ways—
until wickedness was found in you.
By the vastness of your trade, 1Ti 6:9-10Hab 2:8Hab 2:17Gen 3:24Jhn 2:16Ezk 8:17Mic 2:22Pe 2:4-6
you were filled with violence, and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace
from the mountain of God,
and I banished you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
Your heart grew proud of your beauty; Ezk 28:5Ezk 31:10Jas 4:6Pro 16:18Ezk 28:2Luk 14:11Ezk 32:10Pro 11:2
you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor;
so I cast you to the earth;
I made you a spectacle before kings.
By the multitude of your iniquities Mal 4:3Rev 18:8Amo 1:9-10Ezk 28:16Ezk 28:22Pe 2:6Amo 1:14Amo 2:2
and the dishonesty of your trading
you have profaned your sanctuaries.
So I made fire come from within you,
and it consumed you.
I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the eyes of all who saw you.
All the nations who know you Ezk 26:21Rev 18:15-19Rev 18:21Ezk 26:14Ezk 27:35-36Isa 14:16-19Jer 51:63-64Psa 76:12
are appalled over you.
You have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’”
A Prophecy against Sidon
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her. Ezk 6:2Gen 10:15Ezk 25:2Ezk 27:8Jer 25:22Ezk 29:2Ezk 32:30Isa 23:12 And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 39:13Exo 14:17Exo 14:4Ezk 20:41Ezk 30:191Sa 17:45-47Exo 15:21Exo 9:16
‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,
and I will be glorified within you.
They will know that I am the LORD
when I execute judgments against her
and demonstrate My holiness through her.
I will send a plague against her Ezk 38:22Ezk 25:11Ezk 25:17Ezk 25:7Ezk 26:6Ezk 5:12Jer 15:2
and shed blood in her streets;
the slain will fall within her,
while the sword is against her on every side.
Then they will know that I am the LORD.
For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’ Jos 23:13Num 33:552Co 12:7Ezk 2:6Isa 55:13Ezk 28:23Ezk 28:26Ezk 36:36-38
The Restoration of Israel
(Jeremiah 30:1–17)
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Jer 32:37Ezk 20:41Ezk 11:17Ezk 36:28Ezk 37:25Jer 23:8Psa 106:47Ezk 28:22
Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob. And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’” Ezk 28:24Ezk 28:22Amo 9:13-14Ezk 34:25-28Ezk 38:8Jer 32:15Pro 14:261Ki 4:25
