I sit on the throne of a god
in the heart of the seas.”
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.

you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne of a god
in the heart of the seas.”

your heart has grown proud.

as wise as a god,

the most ruthless of nations;
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom
and pierce your shining splendor.

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.
They will bring you down to the pit,
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas.

in the heart of the seas.
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.

You will be but a mortal, not a god,
in the hands of those who slay you.

at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”

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.
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.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.

You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
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.

from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.

on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.

you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.

and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.
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.
All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’ ”
