1And the word of LORD was upon me, saying: 2“Son of man, say to the Great One of Tyre: ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS, because your heart is lifted up and you have said: “I am God and I have set the throne of God in the heart of the seas”, and you are a son of man, and you are not God, and you have considered your heart as the heart of God 3Are you wiser than Daniel, or have you seen secrets in your wisdom? 4And in your understanding have you made for yourself power and have you stored up silver and gold in the house of your treasures? 5In the multitude of your wisdom and of your commerce you multiplied your wealth, and your heart is lifted up by your wealth 6Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Because you have considered your heart as the heart of God 7Behold, I bring against you foreigners, the mighty ones of the Gentiles, and they shall take out their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your glory 8And they shall bring you down to destruction, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas 9Will you say before your killers, "I am God"? For you are a son of man in the hands of your killers, and you are not God 10By the hand of uncircumcised foreigners you shall die, because I have spoken, says THE LORD OF LORDS 11And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 12“Son of man, lament a lamentation for the King of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “You are the seal of the likeness of the word of wisdom, and a crown of glory 13You have been in Eden, the Paradise of God, and all the precious stones you have worn, red and white sardius, and chalcedony, and emerald, and beryl, and sapphire, and jasper, and crystal, and pearls. And you have filled up the house of your treasure with gold, and precious stones in the house of your storage, from the day that you were created 14And you have been with the Cherub who is anointed and who shelters, and I have settled you in the mountain of the holiness of God, and you have been among the stones of fire 15And you walked without defect in your ways from the day that you were created, even until evil was found in you 16In the multitude of your commerce you have been filled with evil within you, and you have sinned and you have killed yourself from the mountain of God, and I shall destroy you, Cherub, who sheltered from within the stones of fire 17Because your heart was lifted up in your beauty, your wisdom is corrupted with your beauty, and I have cast you into the Earth before Kings, and I have given you to them to see 18In the abundance of your fraud and in the evil of your trafficking, you have defiled your holy place. I shall send out fire from within you, and it shall devour you, and I shall make you ashes in the Earth before the eyes of all who see you 19And all who know you among the people shall be ashamed at you, for you have been for destruction and you are not to eternity 20And the answer of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 21“Son of man, set your face toward Tsidon and prophesy over it 22And say, ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: behold, I am against you Tsidon, and I shall be glorified in you, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, whenever I have done my judgment in her, and I have been hallowed in her 23And I sent plague upon her and blood in her streets, and her ravaged ones shall fall within her by the sword that surrounds her, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 24And again there shall not be bitter wormwood and affliction to those of the house of Israel which torments from all of those around them, and they despise them, and they shall know that I AM THE LORD OF LORDS” 25Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “When I have gathered those of the house of Israel from the nations among whom they were scattered, and I am hallowed among them before the eyes of the nations, and they will dwell in the land that I have given to my Servant Yaqob 26And they shall dwell in it in quietness, and they shall build houses, and they shall plant vineyards and they shall dwell in confidence whenever I have executed the judgment of all of the nations that surround them, who do them harm, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH their God” The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
