10You shall die the death of the uncircumcised     by the hand of foreigners;     for I have spoken, says the Lord God.</div> <h3>Lamentation over the King of Tyre</h3>11Moreover the word of the Lord came to me: 12Mortal, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:<div class="poetry">You were the signet of perfection,b</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote b">b</a>]     full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13You were in Eden, the garden of God;     every precious stone was your covering, carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,     beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire,c</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote c">c</a>] turquoise, and emerald;     and worked in gold were your settings     and your engravings.d</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote d">d</a>] On the day that you were created     they were prepared. 14With an anointed cherub as guardian I placed you;e</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote e">e</a>]     you were on the holy mountain of God;     you walked among the stones of fire. 15You were blameless in your ways     from the day that you were created,     until iniquity was found in you. 16In the abundance of your trade     you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,     and the guardian cherub drove you out     from among the stones of fire. 17Your heart was proud because of your beauty;     you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground;     I exposed you before kings,     to feast their eyes on you. 18By the multitude of your iniquities,     in the unrighteousness of your trade,     you profaned your sanctuaries. So I brought out fire from within you;     it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth     in the sight of all who saw you. 19All who know you among the peoples     are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end     and shall be no more forever.</div> <h3>Proclamation against Sidon</h3>20The word of the Lord came to me: 21Mortal, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, 22and say, Thus says the Lord God:<div class="poetry">I am against you, O Sidon,     and I will gain glory in your midst. They shall know that I am the Lord     when I execute judgments in it,     and manifest my holiness in it; 23for I will send pestilence into it,     and bloodshed into its streets; and the dead shall fall in its midst,     by the sword that is against it on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord.</div> 24The house of Israel shall no longer find a pricking brier or a piercing thorn among all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. And they shall know that I am the Lord God. <h3>Future Blessing for Israel</h3>25Thus says the Lord God: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall settle on their own soil that I gave to my servant Jacob. 26They shall live in safety in it, and shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall live in safety, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God. <A name="fen"></a><div class="footnotes"><h4>Footnotes</h4><ol><li id="fen"><a hlef="#en" xtitle="Go to Ezekiel 28:3">Ezekiel 28:3</a> Or, as otherwise read, Danel</li><li id="fen"><a hlef="#en" xtitle="Go to Ezekiel 28:12">Ezekiel 28:12</a> Meaning of Heb uncertain</li><li id="fen"><a hlef="#en" xtitle="Go to Ezekiel 28:13">Ezekiel 28:13</a> Or lapis lazuli</li><li id="fen"><a hlef="#en" xtitle="Go to Ezekiel 28:13">Ezekiel 28:13</a> Meaning of Heb uncertain</li><li id="fen"><a hlef="#en" xtitle="Go to Ezekiel 28:14">Ezekiel 28:14</a> Meaning of Heb uncertain</li></ol></div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Scripture quotations are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Catholic Edition, copyright © 1989, 1993 National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
