- Kapitel 28 -

1
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said,I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.
3
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!
4
By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries.
5
By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.
6
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,
7
behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.
8
They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
9
Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.
10
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken,

A Lament for the King of Tyre

11
declares the Lord GOD.”
12
(11) Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,(12)Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says:You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you:(a) ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire,(b) turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.
14
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
15
From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you.
16
By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
17
Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.
18
By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.
19
All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

A Prophecy against Sidon

20
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21
Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.
22
And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says:Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.
23
I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24
For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’

The Restoration of Israel

(Jeremiah 30:1–17)
25
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob.
26
And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”

1
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2
Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says:Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god
3
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
4
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6
“‘therefore the Lord GOD says:Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8
They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
9
Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”

A Lament for the King of Tyre

11
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12
Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says:You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire,(a) turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16
By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19
All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”

A Prophecy against Sidon

20
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21
Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says:Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
23
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

The Restoration of Israel

(Jeremiah 30:1–17)
25
“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26
They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
