Gen Z: Ezekiel 28
1The word of the Lord hit me up again, saying,
2Yo, son of man, tell the prince of Tyrus, God’s got something to say; your ego's way too high, thinking you’re a God chillin' in the middle of the seas, but no cap, you’re just a dude, not the big guy.
3For real, you’re smarter than Daniel; there’s no secret that can stay hidden from you.
4With your smarts and skills, you’ve stacked up mad riches, flexing gold and silver in your stash.
5Your insane wisdom and hustle got you all this wealth, and now your heart’s all puffed up because of it.
6So here’s the deal, says the Lord God; since you’re acting like you’re the heart of God,
7check it, I’m bringing some outsiders your way, the scariest of nations: they’re gonna pull out their swords against your so-called wisdom and mess with your shine.
8They’ll drag you down to the pit, and you’re gonna taste the deaths of those who get wrecked in the seas.
9You still gonna front before the one who takes you out, saying, "I’m God?" Nah, you’re just a man, not God, in the grip of the one who’s got you.
10You’re gonna die like the uncircumcised at the hands of strangers: that’s what I said, says the Lord God.
11Yo, the Lord hit me up, sayin’
12"Listen up, fam, drop some feels for the king of Tyrus. God’s sayin’ you’re full of wisdom and lookin’ hella perfect."
13"You were in Eden, God’s garden, drippin’ in all the gems: sardius, topaz, diamond, and more. Your vibe was on point from day one."
14"You’re the lit cherub, coverin’ it all; chillin’ on God’s holy mountain, walkin’ through the fire stones."
15"You were flawless since creation, but then some sus stuff popped off."
16"Your hustle brought chaos, and you’ve sinned. So, I’m booting you off the holy mountain and takin’ you down, fam."
17"Your heart got too big from your looks, and you messed up your wisdom. I’m throwin’ you to the ground for kings to see."
18"You’ve messed up your holy spots with all that shady business; I’m bringin’ fire from within you that’ll turn you to ash in front of everyone."
19"All the peeps who know you will be shook; you’ll be a whole terror, and you won’t exist anymore."
20"Then the Lord hit me up again, sayin’,"
21Yo, son of man, throw some shade at Zidon and spill the tea on it.
22God’s like, “I’m totally against you, Zidon; I’m about to flex my glory in your midst, and you’ll know I’m the Lord when I drop some serious judgment on you, fr.”
23I’m sending pestilence and blood to your streets, and the wounded gonna get judged everywhere by the sword; you’ll know I’m the Lord, no cap.
24No more drama for Israel; no thorns or briers around them that hate on them; they’ll know I’m the Lord God, periodt.
25God’s saying, “When I scoop up Israel from all the peeps they’re mixed with, and I’m looking fresh in front of the nations, they’ll chill in the land I gave to my dude Jacob.”
26They’ll vibe safely there, build dope houses, and plant vineyards; they’ll be living with confidence when I drop judgments on all the haters around them; and they’ll know I’m their Lord God, for real.
