Ezekiel 28 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Tyre's King Overthrown

Eze 28:1The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

Eze 28:2“Son of man, say to the [fn]leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord [fn]GOD,
“Because your heart is lifted up
And you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of [fn]gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a man and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

Eze 28:3

Eze 28:3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you.

Eze 28:4

Eze 28:4“By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.

Eze 28:5

Eze 28:5“By your great wisdom, by your trade
You have increased your riches
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches—

Eze 28:6

Eze 28:6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
‘Because you have made your heart
Like the heart of God,

Eze 28:7

Eze 28:7Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you,
The most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.

Eze 28:8

Eze 28:8‘They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the death of those who are slain
In the heart of the seas.

Eze 28:9

Eze 28:9‘Will you still say, “I am a god,”
In the presence of your slayer,
Though you are a man and not God,
In the hands of those who wound you?

Eze 28:10

Eze 28:10‘You will die the death of the uncircumcised
By the hand of strangers,
For I have spoken!’ declares the Lord GOD!”’”

Eze 28:11

Eze 28:11Again the word of the LORD came to me saying,

Eze 28:12

Eze 28:12“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,
“You [fn]had the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

Eze 28:13

Eze 28:13“You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The ruby, the topaz and the diamond;
The beryl, the onyx and the jasper;
The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald;
And the gold, the workmanship of your [fn]settings and [fn]sockets,
Was in you.
On the day that you were created
They were prepared.

Eze 28:14

Eze 28:14“You were the anointed cherub who [fn]covers,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.

Eze 28:15

Eze 28:15“You were blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until unrighteousness was found in you.

Eze 28:16

Eze 28:16“By the abundance of your trade
[fn]You were internally filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O [fn]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.

Eze 28:17

Eze 28:17“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I put you before kings,
That they may see you.

Eze 28:18

Eze 28:18“By the multitude of your iniquities,
In the unrighteousness of your trade
You profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you;
It has consumed you,
And I have turned you to ashes on the earth
In the eyes of all who see you.

Eze 28:19

Eze 28:19“All who know you among the peoples
Are appalled at you;
You have become [fn]terrified
And you will cease to be forever.”’”

Judgment of Sidon

Eze 28:20

Eze 28:20And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

Eze 28:21

Eze 28:21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, prophesy against her

Eze 28:22

Eze 28:22and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,
“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,
And I will [fn]be glorified in your midst.
Then they will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her,
And I will manifest My holiness in her.

Eze 28:23

Eze 28:23“For I will send pestilence to her
And blood to her streets,
And the wounded will [fn]fall in her midst
By the sword upon her on every side;
Then they will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 28:24

Eze 28:24“And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

Israel Regathered

Eze 28:25

Eze 28:25‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their [fn]land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

Eze 28:26

Eze 28:26“They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
