New American Standard Bible 1995

Tyre’s King Overthrown

1The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 again to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to the 1leaderH5057 of TyreH6865, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 2GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 your heartH3820 is liftedH1361 up And you have saidH559, ‘3I am a godH410, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of 4godsH430 In the heartH3820 of the seasH3220’; Yet you are a 5manH120 and not GodH410, Although you makeH5414 your heartH3820 like the heartH3820 of GodH430--3BeholdH2009, you are wiserH2450 thanH4480 6DanielH1840; There is noH3605H3808 secretH5640 that is a matchH6004 for you.4By your wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 You have acquiredH6213 7richesH2428 for yourself And have acquiredH6213 goldH2091 and silverH3701 for your treasuriesH214.5By your greatH7230 wisdomH2451, by your 8tradeH7404 You have increasedH7235 your richesH2428 And your 9heartH3824 is liftedH1361 up because of your richesH2428-- 6ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BecauseH3282 you have 10madeH5414 your heartH3824 Like the heartH3820 of GodH430,7ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will bringH935 11strangersH2114 upon you, The 12mostH6184 ruthlessH6184 of the nationsH1471. And they will drawH7385 their swordsH2719 AgainstH5921 the beautyH3308 of your wisdomH2451 And defileH2490 your splendorH3314.8They will bringH3381 you downH3381 to the pitH7845, And you will dieH4191 the 13deathH4463 of those who are slainH2491 In the heartH3820 of the seasH3220.9Will you stillH559 sayH559, “I am a godH430,” In the presenceH6440 of your slayerH2026, Though you are a manH120 and not GodH410, In the handsH3027 of those who woundH2490 you?10You will dieH4191 the deathH4194 of the 14uncircumcisedH6189 By the handH3027 of strangersH2114, For I have spokenH1696!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068!”’”

11Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 12“SonH1121 of manH120, 15takeH5375 up a lamentationH7015 overH5921 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 and sayH559 to him, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “You 16had the sealH2856 of perfectionH8508, FullH4392 of wisdomH2451 and perfectH3632 in beautyH3308.13You were in 17EdenH5731, the gardenH1588 of GodH430; 18EveryH3605 preciousH3368 stoneH68 was your coveringH4540: The 19rubyH124, the topazH6357 and the diamondH3095; The berylH8658, the onyxH7718 and the jasperH3471; The lapisH5601 lazuliH5601, the turquoiseH5306 and the emeraldH1304; And the goldH2091, the workmanshipH4399 of your 2021settingsH8596 and 22socketsH5345, Was in you. On the dayH3117 that you were createdH1254 They were preparedH3559.14You were the 23anointedH4473 cherubH3742 who 24coversH5526, And I placedH5414 you there. You were on the holyH6944 25mountainH2022 of GodH430; You walkedH1980 in the midstH8432 of the 26stonesH68 of fireH784.15You were 27blamelessH8549 in your waysH1870 From the dayH3117 you were createdH1254 UntilH5704 28unrighteousnessH5767 was foundH4672 in you.16By the 29abundanceH7230 of your tradeH7404 30You were internallyH8432 31filledH4390 with violenceH2555, And you sinnedH2398; Therefore I have castH2490 you as profaneH2490 From the mountainH2022 of GodH430. And I have destroyedH6 you, O 32coveringH5526 cherubH3742, From the midstH8432 of the stonesH68 of fireH784.17Your heartH3820 was liftedH1361 up because of your 33beautyH3308; You 34corruptedH7843 your wisdomH2451 by reasonH5921 of your splendorH3314. I castH7993 you to the groundH776; I putH5414 you beforeH6440 35kingsH4428, That they may seeH7200 you.18By the multitudeH7230 of your iniquitiesH5771, In the unrighteousnessH5766 of your tradeH7404 You profanedH2490 your sanctuariesH4720. Therefore I have broughtH3318 36fireH784 from the midstH8432 of you; It has consumedH398 you, And I have turnedH5414 you to 37ashesH665 on the earthH776 In the eyesH5869 of allH3605 who seeH7200 you.19AllH3605 who knowH3045 you among the peoplesH5971 Are appalledH8074 at you; You have becomeH1961 3839terrifiedH1091 And you will ceaseH369 to be 40foreverH5704H5769.”’”

Judgment of Sidon

20And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 21“SonH1121 of manH120, 41setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH413 42SidonH6721, prophesyH5012 againstH5921 her 22and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am againstH5921 you, O SidonH6721, And I will 43be glorifiedH3513 in your midstH8432. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 when I 44executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in her, And I will manifestH6942 My holinessH6942 in her.23For 45I will sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 to her And bloodH1818 to her streetsH2351, And the 46woundedH2491 will 47fallH5307 in her midstH8432 By the swordH2719 upon her on everyH5439 sideH5439; Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 24And there will be noH3808 moreH5750 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 a 48pricklingH3992 brierH5544 or a painfulH3510 thornH6975 from anyH3605 roundH5439 aboutH5439 them who scornedH7751 them; then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068.”

Israel Regathered

25‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “When I 49gatherH6908 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 from the peoplesH5971 among whomH834 they are scatteredH6327, and will manifestH6942 My holinessH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, then they will 50liveH3427 in their 51landH127 whichH834 I gaveH5414 to My servantH5650 JacobH3290. 26They will 52liveH3427 in it securelyH983; and they will 53buildH1129 housesH1004, plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and liveH3427 securelyH983 when I 54executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon allH3605 who scornH7751 them roundH5439 aboutH5439 them. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 their GodH430.”’”
