1. Then this message came to me from the lord:
2. “Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign lord:“In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god!I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’But you are only a man and not a god,though you boast that you are a god.
3. You regard yourself as wiser than Danieland think no secret is hidden from you.
4. With your wisdom and understanding you have amassed great wealth—gold and silver for your treasuries.
5. Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich,and your riches have made you very proud.
6. “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign lord says:Because you think you are as wise as a god,
7. I will now bring against you a foreign army,the terror of the nations.They will draw their swords against your marvelous wisdomand defile your splendor!
8. They will bring you down to the pit,and you will die in the heart of the sea,pierced with many wounds.
9. Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’to those who kill you?To them you will be no godbut merely a man!
10. You will die like an outcastat the hands of foreigners.I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!”
11. Then this further message came to me from the lord:
12. “Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign lord:“You were the model of perfection,full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty.
13. You were in Eden,the garden of God.Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone—red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone,blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper,blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald—all beautifully crafted for youand set in the finest gold.They were given to youon the day you were created.
