“Because your heart is haughty
And you have said, ‘^(A)I am a god,
I sit in the seat of ^[c]gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a ^(B)mortal and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
³ Behold, you are wiser than ^(C)Daniel;
There is no secret that is a match for you!
⁴ By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired ^(D)riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
⁵ By your great wisdom, by your ^(E)trade
You have increased your riches,
And your ^(F)heart is haughty because of your riches—

‘Because you have ^(G)made your heart
Like the heart of God,
⁷ Therefore, behold, I am going to bring ^(H)strangers against you,
The ^(I)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And profane your splendor.
⁸ They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the ^(J)death of those who are killed
In the heart of the seas.
⁹ Will you still say, “I am a god,”
In the presence of one who kills you,
Though you are a mortal and not God,
In the hands of those who wound you?
¹⁰ You will die the death of the ^(K)uncircumcised
By the hand of strangers,
For I have spoken!’ declares the Lord God!”’”

“You ^[d]had the seal of ^[e]perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
¹³ You were in ^(M)Eden, the garden of God;
^(N)Every precious stone was your covering:
The ^(O)ruby, the topaz and the diamond;
The beryl, the onyx and the jasper;
The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald;
And the gold, the workmanship of your ^[f](P)settings and ^[g]sockets,
Was in you.
On the day that you were created
They were prepared.
¹⁴ You were the ^(Q)anointed cherub who ^[h]covers,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy ^(R)mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the ^(S)stones of fire.
¹⁵ You were ^(T)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until ^(U)unrighteousness was found in you.
¹⁶ By the ^(V)abundance of your trade
^[i]You were internally ^(W)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, you ^[j]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
¹⁷ Your heart was haughty because of your ^(X)beauty;
You ^(Y)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I threw you to the ground;
I put you before ^(Z)kings,
That they may see you.
¹⁸ By the multitude of your wrongdoings,
In the unrighteousness of your trade
You profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought ^(AA)fire from the midst of you;
It has consumed you,
And I have turned you to ^(AB)ashes on the earth
In the eyes of all who see you.
¹⁹ All who know you among the peoples
Are appalled at you;
You have become ^[k](AC)terrified
And you will cease to be ^(AD)forever.”’”

“Behold, I am against you, Sidon,
And I will appear in My glory in your midst.
Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I ^(AG)execute judgments against her,
And I will reveal Myself as holy in her.
²³ For ^(AH)I will send a plague to her
And blood to her streets,
And the ^(AI)wounded will ^[l]fall in her midst
By the sword upon her on every side;
Then they will know that I am the Lord.

77 My voice rises to God, and I will ^(A)cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me.
² In the ^(B)day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
^(C)In the night my ^(D)hand was stretched out and did not grow weary;
My soul ^(E)refused to be comforted.
³ When I remember God, then I am ^(F)restless;
When I ^(G)sigh, then ^(H)my spirit feels weak. Selah
⁴ You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I ^(I)cannot speak.
⁵ I have considered the ^(J)days of old,
The years of long ago.
⁶ I will remember my ^(K)song in the night;
I ^(L)will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ^[b]ponders:
