Ezekiel 27:1-28:24

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ² Thou son of man, lift up a lamentation for Tyre; ³ And say to Tyre, Thou dwelling at the entrance of the sea, a traffic of the peoples for many islands, thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou saidst, I am perfect of beauty. ⁴ In the heart of the see thy bound; they building thee completed thy beauty. ⁵ They built all thy bounds cypress from Shenir: they took cedars from Lebanon to make a mast for thee. ⁶ The oaks of Bashan they made thine oars; the house of the Ashurites made thy desk of ivory from the isles of Chittim. ⁷ Fine linen with variegation from Egypt was thy spreading forth to be to thee for a signal; cerulean purple, and reddish purple, from the isles of Elisha was thy covering. ⁸ The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were rowers to thee: thy wise, O Tyre, were in thee, they thy sailors. ⁹ The old men of Gebal and her wise were in thee making strong thy breach: all the ships of the sea and thy seamen were in thee to traffic from thy traffic. ¹⁰ Persia and Lud and Phut were in thy strength, thy men of war: hung the shield and helmet in thee; they gave thy decoration. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad and thine army upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they completed thy beauty. ¹² Tarshish thy merchant from the multitude of all riches: in silver, iron, alloy, and lead, they gave thy markets. ¹³ Javan, Tubal and Meshech, they thy merchants: they gave from thy traffic in the soul of man, and vessels of brass. ¹⁴ From the house of Togarmah, horses and horsemen and mules they gave thy markets ¹⁵ The sons of Dedan thy merchants; many isles the traffic of thy hand: and they brought back horns of ivory and ebony. ¹⁶ Aram thy merchant from the multitude of thy works: they gave in thy markets with the gem, reddish purple, and variegation, and byssus, and red corals, and ruby. ¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel, they thy merchants: in wheat of Minnith and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balsam, they gave thy traffic. ¹⁸ Damascus thy merchant in the multitude of thy works from the multitude of all riches, with wine of Helbon and wool of whiteness. ¹⁹ And Dan and Javan going away gave in thy markets: making iron, cassia and sweet cane was in thy traffic. ²⁰ Dedan thy merchant, garments of spreading out for the chariot ²¹ Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they the merchants of thy hand with lambs and rams and he goats: in them thy merchants. ²² The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they thy merchants with the head of all spicery, and with every precious stone and gold they gave thy markets. ²³ Haran and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Assur, and Chilmad, thy merchants. ²⁴ They thy merchants in perfections in coverings of cerulean purple, and variegation and in treasures of variegated stuffs bound with cords and made fast in thy markets. ²⁵ The ships of Tarshish celebrating thee in thy traffic; and thou wilt be filled and honored greatly in the heart of the sea. ²⁶ Thy rower brought thee into many waters: the wind of the east broke thee in the heart of the seas. ²⁷ Thy riches and thy markets, thy traffic, thy seamen, and thy shipmen, they making strong thy breach, and they trafficking thy traffic, and all the men of thy war that are in thee, and in all thy convocation which is in the midst of thee, they shall fall into the heart of the sea, in the day of thy fall. ²⁸ At the voice of the cry of thy shipmen, the areas shall shake. ²⁹ All holding the oars, the seamen and the shipmen of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the earth. ³⁰ And with their voice they shall cause to be heard against thee, and they shall cry with bitterness, and they shall bring up dust upon their heads, and they shall roll themselves in ashes. ³¹ And they made themselves bald with baldness for thee, and they girded themselves with sackcloth, and they wept for thee with bitterness of soul and bitter wailing. ³² And their sons lifted up a lamentation for thee, and they lamented over thee: Who as Tyre, as she desolated in the midst of the sea? ³³ In the going forth of thy markets from the seas thou didst satisfy many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and thy traffics thou didst enrich the kings of the earth. ³⁴ The time thou wert broken from the seas in the depths of the waters, thy traffic and all thy convocation fell in the midst of thee. ³⁵ All the inhabitants of the isles were astonished at thee, and their kings shuddering, shuddered; the faces were moved. ³⁶ The merchants among the peoples hissed at thee; thou wert terrors; and thou not, even forever. ^{28 1} The word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ² Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart was lifted up, and thou wilt say, I am God, I sat upon the seat of God in the heart of the seas; and thou art man and not God, and thou wilt give thy heart as the heart of God. ³ Behold thee wise above Daniel; not any thing hidden was hidden to thee: ⁴ With thy wisdom and with thy understanding thou madest to thee wealth, and thou wilt make gold and silver in thy treasures. ⁵ By the multitude of thy wisdom, by thy traffic thou didst multiply thy wealth, and thine heart will be lifted up in thy wealth. ⁶ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving thy heart as the heart of God; ⁷ For this, behold me bringing strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they emptied out their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they profaned thy splendor. ⁸ They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou didst die the deaths of the wounded in the heart of the seas. ⁹ Saying, wilt thou say, I am God, before him slaying thee? and thou art man and not God, in the hand of him wounding thee. ¹⁰ Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I spake, says the Lord Jehovah. ¹¹ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ¹² Son of man, lift up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou didst seal up the measure full of wisdom and complete of beauty. ¹³ Thou wert in Eden the garden of God: every precious stone thy covering, the ruby, the topaz, the onyx, the chrysolite, the sardonyx and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle and the emerald, and gold: the work of thy drums and thy pipes were prepared in thee in the day of thy being created. ¹⁴ Thou the cherub of expansion covering; and I gave thee: thou wert in the holy mountain of God; thou walkedst about in the midst of the stones of fire. ¹⁵ Thou shalt be perfected in thy ways from the day of thy being created even till iniquity was found in thee. ¹⁶ In the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou wilt sin: and I shall profane thee from the mountain of God, and destroying thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. ¹⁷ Thine heart was lifted up with thy beauty, thou didst corrupt thy wisdom on account of thy splendor: I cast thee upon the earth, I gave thee before kings to look upon thee. ¹⁸ From the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic, thou didst profane my holy places; and I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall consume thee, and I will give thee for ashes upon the earth before the eyes of all seeing thee. ¹⁹ All knowing thee among the peoples were astonished at thee: thou wert terrors; and thou not, even to forever. ²⁰ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ²¹ . Son of man, set thy face against Zidon and prophesy against, her, ²² And say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Behold me against, thee, O Zidon; and I was honored in the midst of thee, and they shall know that I am Jehovah, in my doing judgments upon her; and I was consecrated in her. ²³ And I sent death into her, and blood in her streets; and the wounded fell in the midst of her by, the sword upon her from round about: and they shall know that I am Jehovah. ²⁴ And no more shall there be to the house of Israel a thorn making bitter; and briars causing pain from all round about them despising them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
