Ezekiel 28 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Eze 28:1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Eze 28:2And thou, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord; Because thine heart has been exalted, and thou hast said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet thou art man and not God, though thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:
Eze 28:3art thou wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed thee with their knowledge?
Eze 28:4Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine own knowledge or thine own prudence, and gotten gold and silver in thy treasures?
Eze 28:5By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.
Eze 28:6Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Eze 28:7because of this, behold, I will bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,
Eze 28:8and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
Eze 28:9Wilt thou indeed say, I am God, before them that slay thee? whereas thou art man, and not God.
Eze 28:10Thou shalt perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.
Eze 28:11And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Eze 28:12Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou art a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.
Eze 28:13Thou wast in the delight of the paradise of God; thou hast bound upon thee every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and thou hast filled thy treasures and thy stores in thee with gold.
Eze 28:14From the day that thou wast created thou wast with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15Thou wast faultless in thy days, from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16Of the abundance of thy merchandise thou hast filled thy storehouses with iniquity, and hast sinned: therefore thou hast been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought thee out of the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17Thy heart has been lifted up because of thy beauty; thy knowledge has been corrupted with thy beauty: because of the multitude of thy sins I have cast thee to the ground, I have caused thee to be put to open shame before kings.
Eze 28:18Because of the multitude of thy sins and the iniquities of thy merchandise, I have profaned thy sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of thee, this shall devour thee; and I will make thee to be ashes upon thy land before all that see thee.
Eze 28:19And all that know thee among the nations shall groan over thee: thou art gone to destruction, and thou shalt not exist any more.
Eze 28:20And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Eze 28:21Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
Eze 28:22and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in thee, and I will be sanctified in thee.
Eze 28:23Blood and death shall be in thy streets; and men wounded with swords shall fall in thee and on every side of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Eze 28:24And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonoured them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Eze 28:25Thus saith the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Eze 28:26Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, even on those that are round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
