sapphire, jasper, silver, gold, quartz, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, beryl, and onyx. A You<br />

filled your treasures and your storehouses among you with gold from the day you were<br />

created. 14 I placed you with the cherub on the holy mountain of God; you were in the<br />

midst of fiery stones. 15 You were blameless in your days, from the day you were<br />

created until unjust acts were found in you. 16 From the abundance of your merchandise<br />

you filled your storerooms with lawless acts. You sinned, and you were wounded due to<br />

the mountain of God; the cherub brought you out of the midst of the fiery stones.<br />

17 Your heart was exalted over your beauty; your skill was ruined with your beauty.<br />

Because of the multitude of your sins, I threw you to the ground; I gave you to become<br />

a spectacle before kings. 18 Because of the multitude of your sins and the unjust acts of<br />

your merchandise, I profaned your sacred things. I will bring fire out of your midst; this<br />

will devour you. I will give you as ashes over your land before all who see you. 19 All<br />

who perceive you among the nations will groan over you; you became destruction, and<br />

you will no longer exist forever."´"<br />

20 The word of the Lord was directed at me, saying, 21 "Son of man, set your face<br />

against Sidon and prophesy against it; 22 say, `Thus says the Lord: "Behold, I am<br />

against you, O Sidon, yet I will be glorified in you. You will know that I am the Lord<br />

when I perform judgments in you, and I will be sanctified in you. 23 Blood and death will<br />

be in your streets; those who have been wounded by swords will fall in you all around<br />

you, and they will know that I am the Lord. 24 There will no longer be for the house of<br />

Israel a thorn of bitterness and a thistle of grief from those all around them who<br />

dishonored them, and they will know that I am the Lord."<br />

25 Thus says the Lord God: "I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom<br />

they were scattered there. I will be sanctified among them, in the sight of the peoples<br />

and nations, and they will reside on their land which I have given to my slave Jacob.<br />

26 They will reside on it in hope; they will build houses, plant vineyards, and reside in<br />

hope whenever I execute a judgment among all who dishonored them, among those<br />

who are around them. They will know that I am the Lord their God and the God of their<br />

fathers."´"<br />

Ezekiel 29<br />

1 In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the word of the<br />

Lord was directed at me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face against the Pharaoh, the<br />

king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against the whole of Egypt. 3 Say, `Thus<br />

says the Lord: "Behold, I am against the Pharaoh, B the great dragon who sits in the<br />

midst of his rivers, who says, `The rivers are mine, and I myself made them.´ 4 I will<br />

put hooks into your jaws, and I will join the fish of your river to your wings; I will bring<br />

you up out of the midst of your river, as well as all the fish of your river. 5 I will quickly<br />

pull you down as well as all the fish of your river; you will fall on the surface of the<br />

plain. You will not be gathered, and you will not be protected. I have given you for food<br />
