New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 27
35 All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.
36 The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.’”
Ezekiel 28
1 Then this message came to me from the LORD:
2 “Son of man, give the prince of Tyre 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 the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.
3 You regard yourself as wiser than Daniel and think no secret is hidden from you.
4 With your wisdom and understanding you have amassed great wealth— gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich, and your riches have made you very proud.
6 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you think you are as wise as a god,
7 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!
8 They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die in the heart of the sea, pierced with many wounds.
9 Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’ to those who kill you? To them you will be no god but merely a man!
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
