¹ The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,

² Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of god, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art man, and not god, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of god;-

³ behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee;

⁴ by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;

⁵ by thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches;-

⁶ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,

⁷ therefore, behold, 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.

⁸ They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.

⁹ Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee.

¹⁰ Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹¹ Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹² Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

¹³ Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.

¹⁴ Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, [so that] thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁵ Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

¹⁶ By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁷ Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

¹⁸ By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

¹⁹ All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.

²⁰ And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²¹ Son of man, set thy face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

²² and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

²³ For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

²⁴ And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

²⁵ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

²⁶ And they shall dwell securely therein; yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those that do them despite round about them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.

²⁹ Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

¹ Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

² He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³ He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

⁴ He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.

⁵ He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

⁶ You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸ The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don't turn again to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

¹¹ They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹² The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹³ He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

¹⁵ wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

¹⁶ Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

¹⁷ where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

¹⁸ The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

²⁰ You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

²¹ The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

²² The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens.

²³ Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.

²⁴ Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

²⁵ There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

²⁶ There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²⁷ These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

²⁸ You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

²⁹ You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

³⁰ You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

³¹ Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

³² He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³ I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³⁴ Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

³⁵ Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
