were your merchants in abundance among your association; you were filled and<br />

exceedingly weighed down in the heart of the sea.<br />

26 Your rowers brought you into much water; a breeze from the south broke you in<br />

the heart of the sea. 27 They were your forces, the reward of you and of your associates.<br />

Your rowers, your pilots, your counselors, your associates from your associates, all your<br />

military men who were in you, and all your congregation in your midst will fall in the<br />

heart of the sea on the day of your fall. 28 At the sound of your cry, your pilots will be<br />

afraid. 29 All your rowers will descend from the ships, and the mariners and navigators of<br />

the sea will stand on the land. 30 They will shout about you with their voice, cry out<br />

bitterly, put earth on their heads, and spread ashes underneath. A 32 Their sons will take<br />

up a lamentation over you and a lamenting for you: 33 How much reward did you find<br />

from the sea? You filled nations from your abundance; from your association you<br />

enriched all the kings of the earth. 34 Now you have been broken in the sea, in depth of<br />

water; your association, all your congregation in your midst, and all your rowers have<br />

fallen. 35 All who resided on the islands became hostile to you, their kings were<br />

astonished, and their faces shed tears. 36 Merchants from the nations hissed at you; you<br />

became a destruction, and you will no longer exist forever.´"´"<br />

Ezekiel 28<br />

1 The word of the Lord was directed at me, saying, 2 "Son of man, say to the ruler of<br />

Tyre, `Thus says the Lord: "Since your heart was exalted, you said, `I am God; I have<br />

resided in the residence of God in the heart of the sea.´ But you are a man and not<br />

God, yet you gave your heart as the heart of God. 3 Are you wiser than Daniel? Didn't<br />

the wise discipline you with their skill? 4 You didn't make power for yourself by your skill<br />

or by your intelligence, and make gold and silver by your treasures, did you? 5 By your<br />

abundant skill and your merchandise, you multiplied your power; your heart was<br />

exalted by your power." 6 Because of this, thus says the Lord: "Since you have given<br />

your heart as the heart of God, 7 in response to this, behold, I am bringing against you<br />

strange pestilences from the nations. They will draw their swords against you and<br />

against the beauty of your skill, and they will lay your beauty low resulting in<br />

destruction. 8 They will bring you down, and you will die the death of the wounded in<br />

the heart of the sea. 9 You won't say, `I am God,´ in the sight of those who are doing<br />

away with you, will you? You are a man and not God. 10 Among the multitude of the<br />

uncircumcised, you will perish B by the hands of strangers, for I have spoken, says he<br />

Lord."´"<br />

11 The word of the Lord was directed at me, saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a<br />

lamentation over the ruler of Tyre; say to him, `Thus says the Lord, the Lord: "You are<br />

the seal of a likeness and the crown of beauty. 13 You were in the luxury of the paradise<br />

of God; you have bound to yourself every useful stone: ruby, topaz, emerald, garnet,<br />

A V ¦ + 31 They will make themselves bald over you, gird themselves with sackcloth, and<br />

weep concerning you in bitterness of soul and with bitter mourning. A<br />

those who wounded you, you will perish in the deaths of the uncircumcised A
