ツロの君主についての預言
28 また、次のような主のことばが示されました。
2-3 「人の子よ、ツロの君主に言いなさい。」
神である主はこう語ります。
「おまえは身のほどをわきまえず、
自分を神にしてしまうほど思い上がり、
大海に浮かぶ島で神の座についている。
だが、いくら神のようにふるまっても、
おまえは人であって神ではない。
確かに、おまえはダニエルよりも賢く、
どんな秘密もおまえには筒抜けだ。
4 その知恵と知識を駆使して、
おまえは金、銀、財宝を手に入れ、大きな富を築いた。
5 そう、おまえの知恵がおまえを大金持ちにし、
高慢にしたのだ。」
6 それゆえ、神である主はこう語ります。
「おまえは、自分が神のように賢いと言っている。
7 それで、諸国に恐れられている敵の大軍が、
知恵を自慢しているおまえに向かって剣を抜き、
その栄華を汚す。
8 海の真ん中の島で、おまえを地獄の穴へ突き落とし、
剣で八つ裂きにする。
9 それでも、自分は神だと言うのか。
侵略者たちにとっては、
おまえは神ではなく、ただの人間だ。
10 おまえは外国人の手で、
まるでごみ屑のように、
無造作に殺される。」
わたしがこう言うと、神である主は語ります。
11 また、次のような主のことばがありました。 12 「人の子よ、ツロの王のために泣け。
神、主はこう語る、と告げよ。
おまえは知恵に満ち、美を極めていた。
13 おまえは神の園、エデンのような所にいて、
その服には、最高級の金の台に、ルビー、トパーズ、
ダイヤモンド、かんらん石、しまめのう、碧玉、
サファイヤ、紅玉、エメラルドなど
あらゆる種類の宝石をはめ込んだ飾りをつけていた。
みな、おまえが王となった日に贈られた物だ。
14 わたしはおまえを、
油注がれた守護者ケルブに任命した。
おまえは神の聖なる山に近づき、
火の石の間を歩いていた。
15 王となってから、不正が見つかる時まで、
おまえがやったことはみな完璧だった。
16 しかし、莫大な富に目がくらんで、
おまえは罪を犯したのだ。
そこでわたしは、普通の罪人と同じように、
おまえを神の山から追い出した。
ああ、すぐれたケルブよ。
わたしはおまえを火の石の間から消滅させた。
17 おまえは自分の美しさを鼻にかけ、思い上がっていた。
栄華のために、自分の知恵を台なしにしてしまった。
それゆえ、おまえを地面にたたき伏せ、
何事が起こったのかと好奇の目をみはる王たちの前に、
おまえの無力さを見せつけたのだ。
18 おまえは不正な商いをして自分を汚した。
それゆえ、おまえ自身の所業から火を引き出し、
みんなが見ている前でおまえを焼き、
地上の灰としたのだ。
19 おまえを知っていた者はみな、
その恐ろしい運命に背筋を凍らせる。
おまえは見せしめとして、永久に滅ぼされるのだ。」
シドンについての預言
20 次のようなことばもありました。
21 「人の子よ、シドンの町にこう預言せよ。」
22 神である主がこう語ります。
「シドンよ。わたしはおまえの敵となり、
わたしの力を現そう。
おまえを滅ぼして、わたしのきよさが示されるとき、
それを見る者はみな、わたしが主であることを知る。
23 疫病をはやらせ、兵を送って滅ぼす。
傷ついた者たちは町の通りで、
四方から攻め寄せる敵兵に殺される。
その時、おまえはわたしが主であることを知る。
24 おまえも、他のイスラエルの近隣の国々も、かつてはイスラエルをさげすみ、邪険にしてきたのだが、これからはもう、いばらやとげのようにイスラエルを突き刺したり、引き裂いたりしなくなる。
25 イスラエルの民は、わたしがその先祖ヤコブに与えた地に再び住むようになる。散らしておいた遠くの国々から、わたしがもう一度、彼らを集めるからだ。こうしてわたしは、国々にわたしのきよさを示す。 26 彼らはイスラエルに安らかに住み、家を建て、ぶどう畑を作る。こうしてイスラエルをさげすんだ回りの国々がみな罰せられるとき、彼らは、わたしが彼らの神、主であることを知る。」
Ezekiel 28
New King James Version
Proclamation Against the King of Tyre
28 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Because your heart is (A)lifted[a] up,
And (B)you say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
(C)In the midst of the seas,’
(D)Yet you are a man, and not a god,
Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
3 (Behold, (E)you are wiser than Daniel!
There is no secret that can be hidden from you!
4 With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained (F)riches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
5 (G)By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring (H)strangers against you,
(I)The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.
8 They shall throw you down into the (J)Pit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas.
9 “Will you still (K)say before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you.
10 You shall die the death of (L)the uncircumcised
By the hand of aliens;
For I have spoken,” says the Lord God.’ ”
Lamentation for the King of Tyre
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, (M)take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(N)“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in (O)Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of (P)your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You were the anointed (Q)cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on (R)the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till (S)iniquity was found in you.
16 “By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, (T)O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 “Your (U)heart was [b]lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
(V)You have become a horror,
And shall be no (W)more forever.” ’ ”
Proclamation Against Sidon
20 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 “Son of man, (X)set your face (Y)toward Sidon, and prophesy against her, 22 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(Z)“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst;
And (AA)they shall know that I am the Lord,
When I execute judgments in her and am (AB)hallowed in her.
23 (AC)For I will send pestilence upon her,
And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or (AD)a painful thorn for the house of Israel from among all who are around them, who (AE)despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
Israel’s Future Blessing
25 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “When I have (AF)gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am (AG)hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26 And they will (AH)dwell [c]safely there, (AI)build houses, and (AJ)plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” ’ ”

New International Version
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
28 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man(A), say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘In the pride of your heart
you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne(B) of a god
in the heart of the seas.”(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.(D)
3 Are you wiser than Daniel[a]?(E)
Is no secret hidden from you?
4 By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.(F)
5 By your great skill in trading(G)
you have increased your wealth,(H)
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.(I)
6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Because you think you are wise,
as wise as a god,
7 I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;(J)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom(K)
and pierce your shining splendor.(L)
8 They will bring you down to the pit,(M)
and you will die a violent death(N)
in the heart of the seas.(O)
9 Will you then say, “I am a god,”
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,(P)
in the hands of those who slay you.(Q)
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised(R)
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
11 The word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Son of man, take up a lament(S) concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.(T)
13 You were in Eden,(U)
the garden of God;(V)
every precious stone(W) adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoise(X) and beryl.[b]
Your settings and mountings[c] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.(Y)
14 You were anointed(Z) as a guardian cherub,(AA)
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(AB)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(AC)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(AD)
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.(AE)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(AF) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(AG) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(AH)
19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled(AI) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(AJ)’”
A Prophecy Against Sidon
20 The word of the Lord came to me: 21 “Son of man, set your face against(AK) Sidon;(AL) prophesy against her 22 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I am against you, Sidon,
and among you I will display my glory.(AM)
You will know that I am the Lord,
when I inflict punishment(AN) on you
and within you am proved to be holy.(AO)
23 I will send a plague upon you
and make blood flow in your streets.
The slain will fall within you,
with the sword against you on every side.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.(AP)
24 “‘No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns.(AQ) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.
25 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I gather(AR) the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered,(AS) I will be proved holy(AT) through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.(AU) 26 They will live there in safety(AV) and will build houses and plant(AW) vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment(AX) on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.(AY)’”
