Ezekiel 28

Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,

though you set your heart as the heart of God—

there is no secret that is hidden from you;

and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;

and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

“Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

They will defile your brightness.

in the heart of the seas.

in the hand of him who wounds you.

for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

and perfect in beauty.

They were prepared in the day that you were created.

You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.

until unrighteousness was found in you.

from the middle of the stones of fire.

that they may see you.

in the sight of all those who see you.

and you will exist no more.” ’ ”

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

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

and am sanctified in her.

Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

“ ‘ “There will be no more 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.”

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

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