9. When you face your enemies, will you still claim to be a god? They will attack, and you will suffer like any other human.
10. Foreigners will kill you, and you will die the death of those who don't worship me. I, the Lord, have spoken.
11. The Lord said:
12. Ezekiel, son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him I am saying:At one time, you were perfect, intelligent, and good-looking.
13. You lived in the garden of Eden and wore jewellery made of brightly-coloured gems and precious stones. They were all set in gold and were ready for you on the day you were born.
14. I appointed a winged creature to guard your home on my holy mountain, where you walked among gems that dazzled like fire.
15. You were truly good from the time of your birth, but later you started doing wicked things.
16. You traded with other nations and became more and more cruel and evil. So I forced you to leave my mountain, and the creature that had been your protector now chased you away from the gems.
17. It was your good looks that made you arrogant, and you were so famous that you started acting like a fool. That's why I threw you to the ground and let other kings sneer at you.
