Ezechiel 28 — Douay-Rheims — Morals of the Church

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and I sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were the heart of God.

Behold thou art wiser than Daniel: no secret is hid from thee.

4.

In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: and hast gotten gold an silver into thy treasures.

By the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength.

6.

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up as the heart of God:

7.

Therefore behold, I will bring upon thee strangers: the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty.

8.

They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea.

9.

Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee?

10.

Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

11.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:

And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
