The Davar Hashem came again unto me, saying,
Ben adam, say unto the Nagid Tzor, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because thine lev is lifted up [in pride], and thou hast said, El ani (I am a g-d), and I sit on a moshav elohim (seat of g-ds), in the midst of the yamim (seas); yet thou art adam, and not El, though thou set thine mind as the lev elohim;
Hinei, thou art more chacham than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee;
4
With thy chochmah and with thine tevunah (understanding) thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten zahav and kesef into thy otzarot;
By thy great chochmah in thy trade hast thou increased thy riches, and thine lev is lifted up [in pride] because of thy riches;
Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because thou hast set thine mind as the lev elohim;

לָכֵ֗ן SDBH - הִנְנִ֨י behold מֵבִ֤יא SDBH I will bring עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ against you זָרִ֔ים SDBH foreigners עָרִיצֵ֖י SDBH the most ruthless גּוֹיִ֑ם SDBH of nations וְהֵרִ֤יקוּ SDBH They will draw חַרְבוֹתָם֙ SDBH their swords עַל־ against יְפִ֣י SDBH the beauty חָכְמָתֶ֔ךָ SDBH of your wisdom וְחִלְּל֖וּ SDBH and will defile יִפְעָתֶֽךָ׃ SDBH your splendor
Hineni, therefore I will bring zarim upon thee, the most terrible of the Goyim; and they shall draw their charavot (swords) against the beauty of thy chochmah, and they shall defile thy splendor.
8
לַשַּׁ֖חַת SDBH to the Pit יֽוֹרִד֑וּךָ SDBH They will bring you down וָמַ֛תָּה SDBH death מְמוֹתֵ֥י SDBH and you will die חָלָ֖ל SDBH a violent בְּלֵ֥ב SDBH in the heart יַמִּֽים׃ SDBH of the seas
They shall bring thee down to the shachat (pit), and thou shalt die the deaths [actually death; see intensive plural, Isa 53:9] of them that are slain in the midst of the yamim (seas).
9
הֶאָמֹ֤ר SDBH Will you still say תֹּאמַר֙ SDBH . . . אֱלֹהִ֣ים SDBH am a g-d אָ֔נִי SDBH I לִפְנֵ֖י in the presence הֹֽרְגֶ֑ךָ SDBH of those who slay you וְאַתָּ֥ה SDBH You אָדָ֛ם SDBH will be only a man וְלֹא־ SDBH not אֵ֖ל SDBH a g-d בְּיַ֥ד SDBH in the hands מְחַלְלֶֽיךָ׃ SDBH of those who wound you
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, Elohim ani? But thou art adam, and no El, in the yad of him that slayeth thee.
Thou shalt die the deaths [actually death, see v.8] of the arelim (uncircumcised) by the yad of zarim; for I have spoken it, saith Adonoi Hashem.

וַיְהִ֥י came דְבַר־ SDBH Again the word יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֵלַ֥י to me לֵאמֹֽר׃ SDBH saying
Moreover the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
Ben adam, take up a kinah (lamentation) upon HaMelech Tzor (Tyre), and say unto him, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Thou wast the chotam (seal) of perfection, full of chochmah, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden, Gan Elohim; every even yekarah (precious stone) was thy covering, the ruby, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the emerald, and zahav; the workmanship of thy hand drums and of thy wind instruments was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the keruv mimshach (anointed cherub) that guardeth; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the Har Kodesh Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of eish.
15
תָּמִ֤ים SDBH were blameless אַתָּה֙ SDBH you בִּדְרָכֶ֔יךָ SDBH in your ways מִיּ֖וֹם SDBH From the day הִבָּֽרְאָ֑ךְ SDBH you were created עַד־ SDBH until נִמְצָ֥א SDBH was found עַוְלָ֖תָה SDBH wickedness בָּֽךְ׃ in you
Thou wast tamim in thy drakhim from the day that thou wast created, until wickedness was found in thee.
16
בְּרֹ֣ב By the vastness רְכֻלָּתְךָ֗ SDBH of your trade מָל֧וּ SDBH were filled תוֹכְךָ֛ SDBH you חָמָ֖ס SDBH with violence וַֽתֶּחֱטָ֑א SDBH and you sinned וָאֶחַלֶּלְךָ֩ SDBH So I drove you in disgrace מֵהַ֨ר SDBH from the mountain אֱלֹהִ֤ים SDBH of G-d וָֽאַבֶּדְךָ֙ SDBH and I banished you כְּר֣וּב SDBH cherub הַסֹּכֵ֔ךְ SDBH O guardian מִתּ֖וֹךְ SDBH from among אַבְנֵי־ SDBH stones אֵֽשׁ׃ SDBH the fiery
By the multitude of thy trading they have filled the midst of thee with chamas, and thou hast sinned; therefore I will banish thee as profane out of the Har Elohim; and I will destroy thee, O guardian keruv, from the midst of the stones of eish.
Thine lev was lifted up [in pride] because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy chochmah by reason of thy splendor; I will cast thee to eretz (earth), I will lay thee before melachim, that they may gaze upon thee.
18
מֵרֹ֣ב By the multitude עֲוֺנֶ֗יךָ SDBH of your iniquities בְּעֶ֙וֶל֙ SDBH and the dishonesty רְכֻלָּ֣תְךָ֔ SDBH of your trading חִלַּ֖לְתָּ SDBH you have profaned מִקְדָּשֶׁ֑יךָ SDBH your sanctuaries וָֽאוֹצִא־ SDBH come אֵ֤שׁ SDBH So I made fire מִתּֽוֹכְךָ֙ SDBH from within you הִ֣יא SDBH and it אֲכָלַ֔תְךָ SDBH consumed you וָאֶתֶּנְךָ֤ I reduced לְאֵ֙פֶר֙ SDBH you to ashes עַל־ on הָאָ֔רֶץ SDBH the ground לְעֵינֵ֖י SDBH in the eyes כָּל־ of all רֹאֶֽיךָ׃ SDBH who saw you
Thou hast defiled thy mikdashim by the multitude of thine avonot, by the avon of thy trading; therefore will I bring forth an eish from the midst of thee; it shall devour thee, and I will reduce thee to ashes upon ha'aretz in the sight of all them that gaze upon thee.
19
כָּל־ All יוֹדְעֶ֙יךָ֙ SDBH who know you בָּֽעַמִּ֔ים SDBH the nations שָׁמְמ֖וּ SDBH are appalled עָלֶ֑יךָ over you בַּלָּה֣וֹת SDBH to a horrible end הָיִ֔יתָ You have come וְאֵינְךָ֖ SDBH and [will] [be] no more עַד־ SDBH . . . עוֹלָֽם׃פ SDBH . . .
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be appalled at thee; thou shalt be a horror, and thou shalt be no more, ad olam.

וַיְהִ֥י came דְבַר־ SDBH Then the word יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi אֵלַ֥י to me לֵאמֹֽר׃ SDBH saying
Again the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
Ben adam, set thy face toward Tzidon (Sidon), and prophesy against it,
22
וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ SDBH And you are to declare כֹּ֤ה that this is what אָמַר֙ SDBH says אֲדֹנָ֣י SDBH the Lord יְהוִ֔ה SDBH G-D הִנְנִ֤י Behold עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ I am against you צִיד֔וֹן SDBH O Sidon וְנִכְבַּדְתִּ֖י SDBH and I will be glorified בְּתוֹכֵ֑ךְ SDBH within you וְֽיָדְע֞וּ SDBH They will know כִּֽי־ that אֲנִ֣י SDBH I יְהוָ֗ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בַּעֲשׂ֥וֹתִי SDBH when I execute בָ֛הּ against her שְׁפָטִ֖ים SDBH judgments וְנִקְדַּ֥שְׁתִּי SDBH and demonstrate My holiness בָֽהּ׃ through her
And say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I am against thee, O Tzidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Hashem, when I shall have executed shefatim (punishments, judgments) in her, and I shall show Myself as set apart as kodesh in her.
23
וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי־ SDBH I will send בָ֞הּ against her דֶּ֤בֶר SDBH a plague וָדָם֙ SDBH and shed blood בְּח֣וּצוֹתֶ֔יהָ SDBH in her streets וְנִפְלַ֤ל SDBH will fall חָלָל֙ SDBH the slain בְּתוֹכָ֔הּ SDBH within her בְּחֶ֥רֶב SDBH while the sword עָלֶ֖יהָ is against her מִסָּבִ֑יב on every side וְיָדְע֖וּ SDBH Then they will know כִּֽי־ that אֲנִ֥י SDBH I יְהוָֽה׃ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi
For I will send into her dever, and dahm into her streets; and the slain shall be judged in the midst of her by the cherev upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Hashem.
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the Bais Yisroel, nor any painful kotz (thorn) of all that are around them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am Adonoi Hashem.
25
כֹּֽה־ This is what אָמַר֮ SDBH says אֲדֹנָ֣י SDBH the Lord יְהוִה֒ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בְּקַבְּצִ֣י׀ SDBH When I gather אֶת־ SDBH - בֵּ֣ית SDBH the house יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל SDBH of Israel מִן־ from הָֽעַמִּים֙ SDBH the peoples אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH among whom נָפֹ֣צוּ SDBH they have been scattered בָ֔ם וְנִקְדַּ֥שְׁתִּי SDBH I will show Myself holy בָ֖ם among them לְעֵינֵ֣י SDBH in the sight הַגּוֹיִ֑ם SDBH of the nations וְיָֽשְׁבוּ֙ SDBH Then they will dwell עַל־ in אַדְמָתָ֔ם SDBH their own land אֲשֶׁ֥ר SDBH which נָתַ֖תִּי I have given לְעַבְדִּ֥י SDBH to My servant לְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ SDBH Jacob
Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: When I shall have gathered the Bais Yisroel from the people among whom they are scattered, and I shall show Myself as set apart as kodesh in them in the sight of the Goyim, then shall they dwell in their adamah (land) that I have given to Avdi Ya'akov (My servant Jacob).
And they shall dwell securely therein, and shall build batim (houses), and plant kramim (vineyards); indeed, they shall dwell securely, when I have executed shefatim (judgments) upon all those that despise them all around them; and they shall know that I am Hashem Eloheihem.
