O mortal, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus said the Sovereign GOD:Because you have been so haughty and have said, “I am a god; I sit enthroned like a god in the heart of the seas,” whereas you are not a god but a human, though you deemed your mind equal to a god’sagod’s This sentence is continued in v. 6; vv. 3–5 are parenthetical.—

By the hands of strangers you shall dieThe death of the uncircumcised;cThe death of the uncircumcised According to popular belief, males who die uncircumcised and persons left unburied are relegated to the lower level of the netherworld; cf. 31.18; 32.19ff. For I have spoken—declares the Sovereign GOD.
O mortal, intone a dirge over the king of Tyre and say to him: Thus said the Sovereign GOD:You were the seal of perfection,Full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God;Every precious stone was your adornment:Carnelian, chrysolite, and amethyst;Beryl, lapis lazuli, and jasper;Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald;And gold beautifully wrought for you,Mined for you, prepared the day you were created.dbeautifully wrought … created Meaning of Heb. uncertain. On the stones, see note at Exod. 28.17.
I created you as a cherubWith outstretched shielding wings;eI created … wings Meaning of Heb. uncertain. And you resided on God’s holy mountain;You walked among stones of fire.

You were blameless in your ways,From the day you were createdUntil wrongdoing was found in you.
By your far-flung commerceYou were filled with lawlessnessAnd you sinned.So I have struck you downFrom the mountain of God,And I have destroyed you, O shielding cherub,From among the stones of fire.
You grew haughty because of your beauty,You debased your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;I have cast you to the ground,I have made you an object for kings to stare at.
By the greatness of your guilt,Through the dishonesty of your trading,You desecrated your sanctuaries.So I made a fire issue from you,And it has devoured you;I have reduced you to ashes on the ground,In the sight of all who behold you.

O mortal, set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against her.
Say: Thus said the Sovereign GOD:I am going to deal with you, O Sidon.I will gain glory in your midst;And they shall know that I am GOD,When I wreak punishment upon herAnd show Myself holy through her.
I will let pestilence loose against herAnd bloodshed into her streets.And the slain shall fall in her midstWhen the sword comes upon her from all sides.And they shall know that I am GOD.
Then shall the House of Israel no longer be afflicted with prickling briers and lacerating thorns from all the neighbors who despise them; and they shall know that I am the Sovereign GOD.
Thus said the Sovereign GOD: When I have gathered the House of Israel from the peoples among which they have been dispersed, and have shown Myself holy through them in the sight of the nations, they shall settle on their own soil, which I gave to My servant Jacob,
and they shall dwell on it in security. They shall build houses and plant vineyards, and shall dwell on it in security, when I have meted out punishment to all those about them who despise them. And they shall know that I the ETERNAL One am their God.
