Ezekiel 28

<< Ezekiel 28 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me saying

2 Son of man say unto the prince of Tyrus Thus saith the Lord GOD Because thine 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 a man and not God though thou set thine heart as the heart of God

3 Behold thou art wiser than Daniel there is no secret that they can hide from thee

4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures

5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God

7 Behold therefore 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 deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee I am God but thou shalt be a man and no God in the hand of him that slayeth thee

10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers for I have spoken it saith the Lord GOD

11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me saying

12 Son of man take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus and say unto him Thus saith the Lord GOD Thou sealest up the sum full of wisdom and perfect in beauty

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God every precious stone was thy covering the sardius 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 prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth and I have set thee so 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 iniquity was found in thee

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence and thou hast sinned therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God and I will destroy thee O covering cherub from the midst of the stones of fire

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness I will cast thee to the ground I will lay thee before kings that they may behold thee

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities by the iniquity of thy traffick therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee it shall devour thee and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee

19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee thou shalt be a terror and never shalt thou be any more __

20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me saying 21 Son of man set thy face against Zidon and prophesy against it

22 And say Thus saith the Lord GOD Behold I am against thee O Zidon and I will be glorified in the midst of thee and they shall know that I am the LORD when I shall have executed judgments in her and shall be sanctified in her

23 For I will send into her pestilence and blood into her streets and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side and they shall know that I am the LORD

24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them that despised them and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD

25 Thus saith the Lord GOD When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob 26 And they shall dwell safely therein and shall build houses and plant vineyards yea they shall dwell with confidence when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them and they shall know that I am the LORD their God
