EZEKIEL
28 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:
“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 man, and no god,
though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3
you are indeed wiser than Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4
by your wisdom and your understanding
you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5
by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6
therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you make your heart
like the heart of a god,
7
therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,
the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom
and defile your splendor.
8
They shall thrust you down into the pit,
and you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.
9
Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though you are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?
10
You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
The Portion for the Prince
EZEKIEL 44
7 “And to the prince shall belong the land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, alongside the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east, corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the eastern boundary 8 of the land. It is to be his property in Israel. And my princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall let the house of Israel have the land according to their tribes.
9 “Thus says the Lord God: Enough, O princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and execute justice and righteousness. Cease your evictions of my people, declares the Lord God.
10 “You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.[h] 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, the bath containing one tenth of a homer,[i] and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the homer shall be the standard measure. 12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs;[j] twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.[k]
