028:012 Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre,
and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum,
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
028:013 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone
adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx,
jasper, sapphire{or, lapis lazuli}, turquoise, and beryl.
Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you.
In the day that you were created they were prepared.
028:014 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you,
[so that] you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked
up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
028:015 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,
until unrighteousness was found in you.
028:016 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you
with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you
as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you,
covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
028:017 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have
corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness:
I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings,
that they may see you.
028:018 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness
of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries;
therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you;
it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all those who see you.
028:019 All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you:
you are become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
028:020 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
028:021 Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
028:022 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against
you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;
and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall have executed
judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
028:023 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets;
and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword
on her on every side; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
028:024 There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel,
nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them,
that did despite to them; and they shall know that I am
the Lord Yahweh.
028:025 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When I shall have gathered the house
of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered,
and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations,
then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to
my servant Jacob.
028:026 They shall dwell securely therein; yes, they shall build houses,
