New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 28
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!
10 You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”
11 Then this further message came to me from the LORD:
12 “Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign LORD: “You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone— red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone, blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper, blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald— all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
