Because your heart is proud
    and you have said, “I am a god;
I sit in the seat of the gods,
    in the heart of the seas,”
yet you are but a mortal, and no god,
    though you compare your mind
    with the mind of a god.
3You are indeed wiser than Daniel;[a]
    no secret is hidden from you;
4by your wisdom and your understanding
    you have amassed wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
    into your treasuries.
5By your great wisdom in trade
    you have increased your wealth,
    and your heart has become proud in your wealth.
6Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you compare your mind
    with the mind of a god,
7therefore, I will bring strangers against you,
    the most terrible of the nations;
they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom
    and defile your splendor.
8They shall thrust you down to the Pit,
    and you shall die a violent death
    in the heart of the seas.
9Will you still say, “I am a god,”
    in the presence of those who kill you,
though you are but a mortal, and no god,
    in the hands of those who wound you?
10You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
    by the hand of foreigners;
    for I have spoken, says the Lord God.

You were the signet of perfection,[b]
    full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13You were in Eden, the garden of God;
    every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,
    beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[c] turquoise, and emerald;
    and worked in gold were your settings
    and your engravings.[d]
On the day that you were created
    they were prepared.
14With an anointed cherub as guardian I placed you;[e]
    you were on the holy mountain of God;
    you walked among the stones of fire.
15You were blameless in your ways
    from the day that you were created,
    until iniquity was found in you.
16In the abundance of your trade
    you were filled with violence, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
    and the guardian cherub drove you out
    from among the stones of fire.
17Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
    you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
    I exposed you before kings,
    to feast their eyes on you.
18By the multitude of your iniquities,
    in the unrighteousness of your trade,
    you profaned your sanctuaries.
So I brought out fire from within you;
    it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
    in the sight of all who saw you.
19All who know you among the peoples
    are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.

I am against you, O Sidon,
    and I will gain glory in your midst.
They shall know that I am the Lord
    when I execute judgments in it,
    and manifest my holiness in it;
23for I will send pestilence into it,
    and bloodshed into its streets;
and the dead shall fall in its midst,
    by the sword that is against it on every side.
And they shall know that I am the Lord.
