Zeit, wenn du untergehest,

And the seas shall shake at the cry of thy shipmasters.

And all that pull the oars, and the masters, and the servants, shall be taken out of the ships unto the sea.
tread land

And cry aloud against thee, and mourn bitterly, and shall cast dust upon their heads, and roll themselves in ashes.

They shall be bald upon thee, and shall gird sackcloth about thee, and shall weep bitterly for thee with their hearts, and shall mourn for thee.

Their children also shall lament over thee, Alas, who ever was so still on the sea as thou, O
Tyre?

When thou didst trade upon the sea, thou didst make many countries rich; yea, with the multitude of thy merchandise and of thy trade thou didst make the kings of the earth rich.

But now thou art plunged from the sea into the very deep waters, so that thy commerce and all thy people are perished in thee.

All they that dwell in isles are terrified at thee, and their kings are astonished, and they look miserably.

The merchants of countries whistle at thee, that thou art gone down so suddenly, and canst not arise again.

Chapter 28
Of the downfall of the king of Tyre and the Zidonians. Redemption of the people of God.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and saith, I am GOD, I sit in the throne of GOD, in the midst of the sea, though
thou be a man, and not GOD: yet is thy heart lifted up as the heart of GOD; 3. Behold, thou thinkest thyself wiser than Daniel, that nothing is hid from thee, 4. And by thy wisdom and understanding thou hast wrought such power, and gathered treasures of gold and silver.

And by thy great wisdom and mightiness thou hast obtained so great power, and hast become so proud that thou art mighty:

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy heart is lifted up as the heart of GOD, 7. Therefore, behold, I will send strangers upon thee, even the tyrants of the heathen; and they shall draw their sword upon thy fair wisdom, and shall put thy great honour to shame.

And they shall cast thee into the pit, and thou shalt die in the midst of the sea, as the slain.

What matter if thou then shalt say before thy slayer, I am God; when thou art not God, but a man, and in the hand of thy slayer?

Thou shalt die, as the uncircumcised, at the hand of the stranger: for I have spoken it, saith the LORD GOD.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, make a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say of him, Thus saith the LORD
GOD; Thou art a pure seal, full of wisdom, and fair beyond measure.

Thou art in the garden of pleasure of God, adorned with all manner of precious stones, namely, sardius, topaz, demonds, turquoise, onyx, jasper, sapphire, amethyst, emeralds, and gold. On the day thou wast created, thy timbrel and thy pipes were ready with thee.

Thou art as a cherub spreading abroad and covering: and I have set thee upon the holy mountain of God, to walk among the fiery stones,

And were without change in thy doings from the day that thou wast created, until thine iniquity was found.

For inwardly thou hast become full of iniquity because of thy great wickedness, and hast sinned. Therefore will I desecrate thee from off the mount of God, and will cast thee out of the fiery stones, a cherub spread abroad.

And because thine heart is lifted up, because thou art fair, and because thy wisdom hath deceived thee in thy splendor, therefore will I cast thee down to the ground, and make a spectacle of thee before the kings.

For thou hast corrupted thy sanctuary with thy great iniquity and unrighteousness. Therefore will I cause a fire to come up out of thee, and it shall devour thee; and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth, and all the world shall behold.

All they that know thee among the heathen shall be astonished at thee, because thou hast perished so suddenly, and canst never rise again.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against them.

And say, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will put honour upon thee, Zidon, and will put honour upon thee, that it may be known that I am the LORD, when I shall execute judgment upon her, and she shall shew that I am holy.

And I will send pestilence and bloodshed among them in their streets, and they shall fall deadly wounded within by the sword, which shall go upon them every where; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

And from henceforth there shall not be left round about the house of Israel, where their enemies are, a thorn to prick, nor a sting to hurt: that they may know that I am the LORD
GOD.

Thus saith the LORD GOD; When I shall gather again the house of Israel from among the nations whither they are scattered, then will I shew them before the heathen that I am holy.
And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given unto Jacob my servant; 26. And they shall dwell securely therein, and build houses, and plant vineyards: yea, securely shall they dwell, when I shall execute judgment upon all their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the LORD their GOD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 29
Prophecy about the kingdom of Egypt.

In the tenth year, on the tenth day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all the land of Egypt.

Preach, and say, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt, thou great dragon, which liest in thy waters, saying, The river is mine, and I have made it mine.

But I will put a bit in thy mouth, and will hang the fish of thy waters upon thy scales, and will pull thee out of thy river, and all the fish of thy waters that hang upon thy scales.

I will cast thee out of thy waters into the wilderness with the fishes: thou shalt fall upon the land, and shalt not be gathered nor gathered again, but shalt become the carcase of the beasts of the earth, and of the fowls of the air.

And all they that dwell in Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a rod of reed unto the house of Israel,

Which, when they took hold of him in the hand, he brake, and thrust them through the sides: but when they leaned upon him, he brake, and thrust them through the loins.

Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee, and will cut off both man and beast from within thee.

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD, because he saith, The river is mine, and I am he that doeth it.

Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt desolate and waste from the tower of Syene unto the border of the land of Moor, 11. That neither cattle nor people go therein, nor dwell therein, forty years.

For I will make the land of Egypt desolate, I will make her border desolate, and her cities desolate, as other desolate cities, forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the heathen, and into the countries will I drive them out.

But thus saith the LORD GOD; When the forty years are expired, I will gather the Egyptians again out of the nations, and they shall be scattered abroad,

And I will turn the prison of Egypt, and bring them again into the land of Pathros, which is their fatherland, and there they shall be a little kingdom.

For they shall be small against other kingdoms, and shall reign no more over the heathen: and I will make them small, and they shall reign no more over the heathen, 16. That the house of Israel trust no more in them, and sin in them, when they cleave unto them: and they shall know that I am the LORD GOD.

And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first day of the first month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon brought his army before Tyre with great difficulty, so that all the heads were bald and all the sides were sore, and yet neither he nor his army was rewarded for his work before Tyre.

Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will give to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take away all their goods, and spoil them, and plunder them, and give pay unto his army.

But the land of Egypt will I give him for his work which he hath done therein: for they have served me, saith the LORD GOD.

In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to grow, and will open thy mouth among them, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Chapter 30
Prophecy about the land of Egypt and the king Pharaoh.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, prophesy, and
