2 Son of man Say to the Prince of Tyre. Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh - Because lofty, is thy heart and thou hast said A GOD, am I, In the seat of God, have I taken my seat In the heart of the seas; Whereas thou art a man, and not a GOD, But hast set thy heart as the heart of God:
2 “Son of man, say to the (a)leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord (b)God,“Because your heart is lifted upAnd you have said, ‘(A)I am a god,I sit in the seat of (c)godsIn the heart of the seas’;Yet you are a (B)man and not God,Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

7 Therefore behold me! bringing upon thee aliens, The terrible ones of the nations,- And they shall unsheathe their swords over the beauty of thy wisdom, And profane thy splendour:
7 Therefore, behold, I will bring (H)strangers upon you,The (I)most ruthless of the nations.And they will draw their swordsAgainst the beauty of your wisdomAnd defile your splendor.
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

9 Wilt thou really say, God, am I, before him who is slaying thee; When, thou, art a man and not a God, in the hand of them who are piercing h thee?
9 ‘Will you still say, “I am a god,”In the presence of your slayer,Though you are a man and not God,In the hands of those who wound you?
9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’in the presence of those who kill(b) you?Yet you will be only a man, not a god,in the hands of those who kill you.
9 Is that when you'll say, "I'm God' to the face of those who will be killing you? After all, you're a man, and have never been a god, especially when you're under the control of those who will defile you!
10 The deaths of the uncircumcised, shalt thou die. by the hand of Miens, - - For I have spoken, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

13 “You were in (M)Eden, the garden of God;(N)Every precious stone was your covering:The (O)ruby, the topaz and the diamond;The beryl, the onyx and the jasper;The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald;And the gold, the workmanship of your (e)(P)settings and (f)sockets,Was in you.On the day that you were createdThey were prepared.

13 You used to be in Eden God's paradise! You wore precious stones for clothing: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and carbuncle. Your settings were crafted in gold, along with your engravings. On the day of your creation they had been prepared!
14 Complete, wast thou in thy ways, from the day thou wast created,- Until perversity was found in thee.
14 “You were the (Q)anointed cherub who (g)covers,And I placed you there.You were on the holy (R)mountain of God;You walked in the midst of the (S)stones of fire.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub,(L)for(i) I had appointed you.You were on the holy mountain of God;you walked among the fiery stones.
14 "You were the anointed cherub; having been set in place on the holy mountain of God, you walked in the midst of fiery stones.
15 By the abundance of fly traffic, they fled thy midst with violence And thou didst sin,- So I cast thee as profane a out of the mountain of God. And destroyed thee O covering cherub, from amid the stones of fire:
15 “You were (T)blameless in your waysFrom the day you were createdUntil (U)unrighteousness was found in you.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
15 From the day you were createdyou were blameless in your waysuntil wickedness was found in you.
15 You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created until wickedness was discovered in you.
16 Lofty, was thy heart in thy beauty, Thou didst corrupt thy wisdom, because of thy splendour, - Upon the earth, did I cast thee. Before kings, did I set thee That they might look at thee:
16 “By the (V)abundance of your trade(h)You were internally (W)filled with violence,And you sinned;Therefore I have cast you as profaneFrom the mountain of God.And I have destroyed you, O (i)covering cherub,From the midst of the stones of fire.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
16 Through the abundance of your trade,you were filled with violence, and you sinned.So I expelled you in disgracefrom the mountain of God,and banished you, guardian cherub,(j)from among the fiery stones.
16 Since your vast business dealings filled you with violent intent from top to bottom, you sinned, so I cast you away as defiled from the mountain of God. I destroyed you, you guardian cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.
17 Owing to the abounding of thine iniquities. In the perversity of thy traffic, Thou didst profane thy sanctuaries, Therefore brought I forth fire out of thy midst. the same devoured thee, And I turned thee to ashes on the ground, Before the eyes of all beholding thee:
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your (X)beauty;You (Y)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.I cast you to the ground;I put you before (Z)kings,That they may see you.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
17 Your heart became proud because of your beauty;(M)For the sake of your splendoryou corrupted your wisdom.So I threw you down to the earth;I made you a spectacle before kings.
17 Your heart grew arrogant because of your beauty; you annihilated your own wisdom because of your splendor. Then I threw you to the ground in the presence of kings, giving them a good look at you!
18 All that had known thee among the peoples were astounded over thee, - A terror, hast thou become, And tart not I Unto times age-abiding.
18 “By the multitude of your iniquities,In the unrighteousness of your tradeYou profaned your sanctuaries.Therefore I have brought (AA)fire from the midst of you;It has consumed you,And I have turned you to (AB)ashes on the earthIn the eyes of all who see you.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
18 You profaned your sanctuariesby the magnitude of your iniquitiesin your dishonest trade.So I made fire come from within you,and it consumed you.(N)I reduced you to ashes on the groundin the sight of everyone watching you.
18 By all of your iniquity and unrighteous businesses you defiled your sanctuaries, so I'm going to bring out fire from within you and burn you to ashes on the earth before the whole watching world!

19 “All who know you among the peoplesAre appalled at you;You have become (j)(AC)terrifiedAnd you will cease to be (AD)forever.”’”
