cry of thy pilots.
29
And all that handle the oar, the mariners,
and
all the pilots of the sea, shall come
down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
30
And shall cause their voice to be heard
against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow
themselves in the ashes:
31
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them
with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart
and
bitter wailing.
32
And in
their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee,
saying,
What
city is
like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33
When thy wares went forth out of the seas,
thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches
and of thy merchandise.
34
In the time
when
thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the
waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
35
All the inhabitants
of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled
in
their
countenance.
36
The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou
shalt be
a terror,
and never shalt be any more.
CHAPTER 28
The word of the L
ORD
came again unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart
is
lifted up, and thou hast said, I
am
a God, I sit
in
the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou
art
a man, and not God, though thou set thine
heart as the heart of God:
3
Behold, thou
art
wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide
from thee:
4
With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast
gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5
By thy great wisdom
and
by thy traffick hast thou
increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6
Therefore thus saith the
Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7
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.
8
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.
9
Wilt thou yet say before
him that slayeth thee, I
am
God? but thou
shalt be
a man, and no God, in the hand of him that
slayeth thee.
10
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have
spoken
it,
saith the Lord GOD.
11
Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
Thou
wast
perfect in thy ways
