2 "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says YHWH: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—

Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou have said, I am a god. I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas. Yet thou are man, and not God, though thou did set thy heart as the heart of God.

3 look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;

They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.

Will thou yet say before him who slays thee, I am God? But thou are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds thee.

10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says YHWH.'"

Thou shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.

11 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

Thou were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold.

14 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Thou were the anointed cherub who covers. And I set thee, so that thou were upon the holy mountain of God. Thou have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Thou were perfect in thy ways from the day that thou were created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

By the abundance of thy commerce they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou have sinned. Therefore I have cast thee out of the mountain of God as profane, and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

19 All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"

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

22 and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon. And I will be glorified in the midst of thee. And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am YHWH.

For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. And the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

And there shall no more be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any who are round about them, who did spite to them. And they shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: 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 they shall dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

26 They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am YHWH their God.'"

And they shall dwell securely therein. Yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those who do them spite round about them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.
