27 The Word of the LORD came again to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
3 “and say to Tyre which is situated at the entry of the sea and merchant of the people for many isles, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am of perfect beauty.’
4 “Your borders are in the midst of the sea; your builders have made you of perfect beauty.
5 “They have made all your boards of fir trees from Senir. They have brought cedars from Lebanon, to make masts for you.
6 “From the oaks of Bashan they have made your oars. The company of the Assyrians has made your planks of ivory from the isles of Kittim.
7 “Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was spread over you to be your sail. Blue silk and purple, from the isles of Elishah, were your coverings.
8 “The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers, O Tyre. Your wise men who were in you, they were your pilots.
9 “The ancients of Gebal, and its wise men, were your caulkers within you. All the ships of the sea, with their sailors, were in you to pledge your merchandise.
10 “They of Persia and of Lud and of Put were in your army. Your men of war, they hung the shield and helmet in you. They set forth your beauty.
11 “The men of Arvad, with your army, were upon your walls, all around; and the Gammadims were in your towers. They hung their shields upon your walls, all around. They have made your beauty perfect.
12 “They of Tarshish were your merchants for the multitude of all riches—for silver, iron, tin, and lead—which they brought to your fairs.

21 “They of Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, traded with you, in lambs, and rams and goats. These were your merchants.

24 “These were your merchants in all sorts of things, in clothing of blue silk, and of embroidered work, and in coffers for the rich’s apparel, which were bound with cords. Chains were also among your merchandise.
25 “The ships of Tarshish were chief in your merchandise; and you were replenished and made very glorious in the midst of the sea.
26 “Your robbers have brought you into great waters. The East wind has broken you in the midst of the sea.
27 “Your riches and your fairs, your merchandise, your sailors and pilots, your caulkers, and the traders of your merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, and all your multitude which is in the midst of you, shall fall in the midst of the sea, on the day of your ruin.
28 “The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
29 “And all who handle the oar, the sailors, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships and shall stand upon the land,
30 “and shall cause their voice to be heard against you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast dust upon their heads, and wallow in the ashes.
31 “They shall pluck out their hair for you and gird themselves with sackcloth. And they shall weep for you with sorrow of heart and bitter mourning.
32 “And in their mourning, they shall take up a lamentation for you, saying, ‘What city is like Tyre, so destroyed in the midst of the sea!
33 ‘When your wares went forth from the seas, you filled many people. You enriched the kings of the Earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
34 ‘When you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your multitude which was in the midst of you, shall fall.
35 ‘All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at you; and all their kings shall be very afraid, troubled in their countenance.
36 ‘The merchants among the people shall hiss at you. You shall be a terror and never shall be anymore.’”’”
28 The Word of the LORD came again to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because your heart is haughty, and you have said, ‘I am a god. I sit on the Seat of God, in the midst of the sea.’ Yet you are but a man and not God. And though you thought in your heart that you were equal with God—
3 “Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you.
4 “With your wisdom and your understanding, you have gotten riches for yourself, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 “By your great wisdom, by your trading, you have increased your riches; and your heart is haughty because of your riches—
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you thought, in your heart, that you were equal with God,
7 “behold, therefore, I will bring strangers upon you, the ruthless nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. And they shall defile your brightness.
8 “They shall cast you down into the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are killed in the midst of the sea.
9 “Will you then say before him who kills you, ‘I am a god?’ But you shall be a man, and not God, in the hands of him who kills you.
10 “You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hands of strangers. For I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11 Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “You seal up the sum, are full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 “You have been in Eden, the Garden of God. Every precious stone in your garment—the ruby, the topaz, the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, the jasper, the sapphire, emerald, the carbuncle and gold, the workmanship of your timbrels and of your pipes—was prepared in you on the day that you were created.
14 “You are the anointed Cherub that covers; and I have set you. You were upon the Holy Mountain of God. You have walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 “You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you.
16 “By the multitude of your merchandise, they have filled the midst of you with cruelty; and you have sinned. Therefore, I will cast you out of the Mountain of God as profane. And I will destroy you, O covering Cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 “Your heart was haughty because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I will cast you to the ground. I will lay you before kings so that they may behold you.
18 “You have defiled your sanctification by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your merchandise. Therefore, I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, which shall devour you. And I will bring you to ashes upon the Earth, in the sight of all those who behold you.
19 “All those who know you among the people shall be astonished at you. You shall be a terror; and you shall never be anymore.”’”
20 Again the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
21 “Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 “and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I come against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of you. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 “For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the slain shall fall by the sword in the midst of her, on every side. And they shall know that I am the LORD.
24 “And they shall no longer be a pricking thorn to the House of Israel, or a grievous thorn to those who are all around them and despise them. And they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.”
25 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “When I shall have gathered the House of Israel from the people where they are scattered and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in the land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
26 “And they shall dwell safely in it and shall build houses and plant vineyards. Yea, they shall dwell safely when I have executed judgments upon all those around them who despise them. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
17 By faith, Abraham - when he was tried - offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered his only begotten son
18 (to whom it was said, “In Isaac shall your seed be called.”)
19 For he considered that God was able to raise him up - even from the dead - from where He received him also, figuratively.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph worshipping at the end of his staff.
22 By faith, Joseph, when he died, mentioned the departing of the children of Israel and gave commandment about his bones.
23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. Nor did they fear the king’s commandment.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had come to age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter
25 and chose to suffer adversity with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 He esteemed the rebuke of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he looked toward the reward.
27 By faith, he left Egypt and did not fear the fierceness of the king. For he endured, as he who saw Him Who is invisible.
28 Through faith, he ordained the Passover and the effusion of blood, so that He who destroyed the first born would not touch them.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land (in which the Egyptians, when they had tried to do so, were swallowed up).
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they were surrounded for seven days.
31 By faith, the prostitute Rahab, when she had received the spies peaceably, did not perish with those who disobeyed.
111 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart in the assembly and the congregation of the Just.
2 The works of the LORD are great and are sought out by all those who love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious; and His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be held in remembrance. The LORD is merciful and full of compassion.
5 He has given a portion to those who fear Him. He will be ever-mindful of His Covenant.
6 He has shown the power of His works to His people, in giving to them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of His hands are truth and judgment. All His statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption to His people. He has commanded His Covenant forever. Holy and fearful is His Name.
10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. All those who observe them have good understanding. His praise endures forever. Praise the LORD
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day, and a contentious woman, are alike.
16 Whoever hides her, hides the wind, and the oil in his right hand calls out.
