Ezequiel 28— comparação

1A palavra do SENHOR veio a mim novamente, dizendo:

2“Filho do homem, diga ao príncipe de Tiro: ‘Assim diz o Senhor DEUS:

3eis que você é mais sábio que Daniel.

4Pela sua sabedoria e pelo seu entendimento você adquiriu riquezas,

5Pela sua grande sabedoria

6“‘portanto, assim diz o Senhor DEUS:

7portanto, eis que trarei estrangeiros contra você,

8Eles o farão descer à cova.

9Você ainda dirá diante daquele que o mata: ‘Eu sou Deus’?

10Você morrerá a morte dos incircuncisos

11Além disso, a palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo:

12“Filho do homem, levante uma lamentação sobre o rei de Tiro, e diga-lhe: ‘Assim diz o Senhor DEUS:

13Você estava no Éden,

14Você era o querubim ungido que cobre.

15Você era perfeito em seus caminhos desde o dia em que foi criado,

16Pela abundância do seu comércio, o seu interior se encheu de violência,

17O seu coração se exaltou por causa da sua beleza.

18Pela multidão das suas iniquidades,

19Todos os que o conhecem entre os povos ficarão espantados com você.

20A palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo:

21“Filho do homem, volte o seu rosto para Sidom, e profetize contra ela,

22e diga: ‘Assim diz o Senhor DEUS:

23Pois enviarei peste sobre ela,

24“‘“Não haverá mais espinheiro que fure para a casa de Israel, nem espinho que machuque de nenhum dos que estão ao seu redor e que os desprezaram. Então eles saberão que eu sou o Senhor DEUS.”

25“‘Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: “Quando eu tiver congregado a casa de Israel dentre os povos entre os quais estão espalhados, e me manifestar como santo entre eles à vista das nações, então eles habitarão na sua própria terra, a qual dei ao meu servo Jacó.

26Eles habitarão nela em segurança. Sim, eles construirão casas, plantarão vinhas e habitarão em segurança, quando eu tiver executado juízos sobre todos os que estão ao seu redor e que os trataram com desprezo. Então eles saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, o seu Deus.”’”

1Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,

2“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—

3behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.

4By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.

5By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

6“‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

7therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.

8They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.

9Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

10You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

11Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

12“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.

14You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.

15You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

16By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.

17Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

19All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”

20Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

22and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.

23For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

24“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”

25“‘The Lord Yahweh says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

26They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”’”
