Ezekiel 28

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.

KJV: Ezekiel 28

1The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

6Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

11Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

20Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

21Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

23For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord God.

25Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
