Ezekiel 28:1-10 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

1. And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

2. `Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I [am], The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou [art] man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God,

3. Lo, thou [art] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee.

4. By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries.

5. By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth.

6. Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God,

7. Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness.

8. To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.

9. Dost thou really say, `I [am] God,' Before him who is slaying thee? And thou [art] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.

10. The deaths of the uncircumcised thou diest, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
