5. by your great wisdom in your tradeyou have increased your wealth,and your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6. therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you make your heartlike the heart of a god,
7. therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,the most ruthless of the nations;and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdomand defile your splendor.
8. They shall thrust you down into the pit, and you shall die the death of the slainin the heart of the seas.
9. Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’in the presence of those who kill you,though you are but a man, and no god,in the hands of those who slay you?
10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me:
12. “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:“You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond,beryl, onyx, and jasper,sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle;and crafted in gold were your settingsand your engravings. On the day that you were createdthey were prepared.

15. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created,till unrighteousness was found in you.
16. In the abundance of your tradeyou were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,from the midst of the stones of fire.
17. Your heart was proud because of your beauty;you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.I cast you to the ground;I exposed you before kings,to feast their eyes on you.
18. By the multitude of your iniquities,in the unrighteousness of your tradeyou profaned your sanctuaries;so I brought fire out from your midst;it consumed you,and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you.
19. All who know you among the peoplesare appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful endand shall be no more forever.”
20. The word of the Lord came to me:
21. “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her
22. and say, Thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,and I will manifest my glory in your midst.And they shall know that I am the Lord when I execute judgments in herand manifest my holiness in her;
