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.'

¹¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

¹² `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

¹³ In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the day of thy being produced, have been prepared.

¹⁴ Thou [art] an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of stones of fire thou hast walked up and down.

¹⁵ Perfect [art] thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.

¹⁶ By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁷ High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee,

¹⁸ From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all beholding thee.

¹⁹ All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not -- to the age.'

²⁰ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

²¹ `Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy concerning it;

²² and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Zidon, And I have been honoured in thy midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My doing in her judgments, And I have been sanctified in her.

²³ And I have sent into her pestilence, And blood into her out-places, The wounded hath been judged in her midst, By the sword upon her round about, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

²⁴ And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them -- despising them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

²⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to Jacob,

²⁶ And they have dwelt on it confidently, And builded houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently -- in My doing judgments, On all those despising them round about, And they have known that I, Jehovah, [am] their God!'

¹ In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.

² Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.

³ An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.

⁴ Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,

⁵ For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,

⁶ Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the weak.

⁷ The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.

⁸ Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.

⁹ [With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.

¹⁰ The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

¹² O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.

¹³ O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.

¹⁴ Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.

¹⁵ Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.

¹⁷ When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.

¹⁸ We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.

¹⁹ `Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.

²⁰ Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.

²¹ For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'
