this message from the sovereign Lord.
In your great pride, you claim I am a God.
I sit on a divine throne in the heart of a sea, but you are only a man and not a God.
Though you boast that you are a God.
You regard yourself as wiser than Daniel and think no secret is hidden from you
with your wisdom and understanding, you have amassed great wealth, gold
and silver for your treasuries.
Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich and your riches have made you very proud.
Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says because you
think you are as wise as a God.
I will now bring against you a foreign army, the terror of the nations.
They will draw their swords against your marvelous wisdom and defile your splendor.

I am a God to those who kill you to them, you will be no God, but merely a man.
You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners.
I, the sovereign Lord have spoken.
Then this further message came to me from the Lord, son of Man, sing this
funeral song for the king of tire.
Give him this message from the sovereign Lord.
You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite and beauty.
You are in Eden, the garden of God.
Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone, red, cornelian, pale,
green, parado, white moonstone, bluegreen barrel, onyx, green, jasper, blue,
lapis, lly, turquoise and emerald.
All beautifully crafted for you and sat on the finest gold they were given
to you on the day you were created.
I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian.
You had access to the Holy Mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire.
You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until
the day evil was found in you.
Your rich commerce led you to violence and you sinned.
So I banished you in disgrace from the mountain of God.
I expelled you, almighty guardian from your place among the stones of fire.
Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty.
Your wisdom was corrupted by your love of splendor.
So I threw you to the ground and exposed you to the curious gaze of kings.
You defiled your sanctuaries with your many sins and your dishonest trade.
So I brought fire out from within you and it consumed you.
I reduced you to ashes on the ground.
In the sight of all who were watching, all who knew, you are appalled at your fate.
You have come to a terrible end and you will exist no more.
Then another message came to me from the Lord, son of man, turn and face the
city of seiden and prophesy against it.
Give the people of sadden this message from the sovereign Lord.
I am your enemy OC Sidon, and I will reveal my glory by what I do to you
when I bring judgment against you and reveal my holiness among you.
Everyone watching will know that I am the Lord.
I will send a plague against you, and blood will be spilled in your streets.
The attack will come from every direction, and your people will
lie slaughtered within your walls.
Then everyone will know that I am the Lord.
No longer will Israel's scornful neighbors prick and tear at her
like briars and thorns for them.
They will know that I am the sovereign Lord.
This is what the sovereign Lord says The people of Israel will
again live in their own land.
The land I gave my servant Jacob for, I will gather them from the distant
lands where I have scattered them.
I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people.
They will live safely in Israel and build homes and plant vineyards.
And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they
will know that I am the Lord their God.
On January 7th, during the 10th year of King Je Jolla Kins captivity, this
message came to me from the Lord.
Son of man turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh, the
king, and all the people of Egypt.
Give them this message from the sovereign Lord, I am your enemy.
Oh Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great monster Lurking in the streams of the Nile
for you have said The Nile River is mine.
I made it for myself.
I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land.
With fish sticking to your scales, I will leave you and all your fish
stranded in the wilderness to die.
You will lie unburied on the open ground for I have given you as
food to the wild animals and birds.
All the people of Egypt will know that I and the Lord for to Israel.
You were just a staff made of reeds.
When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit.
When she put her weight on you, you collapsed and her legs gave way.
Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says.
I will bring an army against you, O Egypt and destroy both people and animals.
The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians
will know that I and the Lord, because you said the Nile River is mine.
I made it.
I am now the enemy of both you and your river.
I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland from
Migdal to Aswan as far south as the border of Ethiopia for 40 years.
Not a soul will pass that way.
Neither people nor animals.
It will be completely uninhabited.
I will make Egypt desolate and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations.
Cities will be empty and desolate for 40 years surrounded by other ruined cities.
I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands, but this is what
the sovereign Lord also says.
At the end of the 40 years, I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations
to which they have been scattered.
I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back
to the land of Patros in Southern Egypt from which they came.
But Egypt will remain an unimportant minor kingdom.
It'll be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough
to rise above its neighbors.
Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help.
Egypt's shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she
was to trust Egypt in earlier days.
Then Israel will know that I am the sovereign Lord.
On April 26th, the first day of the new year, during the 27th year of King
Je Hoya Kin's captivity, this message came to me from the Lord Son of man.
The army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought so hard against tire that the
warrior's heads were rubbed bare, and their shoulders were raw and blistered y.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army won no plunder to compensate them for all their work.
Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says.
I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
He will carry off its wealth, plundering everything it has so he can pay his army.
Yes, I have given him the land of Egypt as a reward for his work, says
the sovereign Lord, because he was working for me when he destroyed tire.
The day will come when I will cause the ancient glory of Israel to revive And then
Ezekiel, your words will be respected.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
