Isaiah 23:8
English Standard Version
8 Who has purposed this
against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants were princes,
whose traders were the honored of the earth?
Revelation 18:8
English Standard Version
8 For this reason her plagues will come (A)in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and (B)she will be burned up with fire;
for (C)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
Ezekiel 28:12-18
English Standard Version
12 (A)“Son of man, (B)raise a lamentation over (C)the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:
“You were the signet of perfection,[a]
(D)full of wisdom and (E)perfect in beauty.
13 You were in (F)Eden, the garden of God;
(G)every precious stone was your covering,
(H)sardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[b] (I)emerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.[c]
(J)On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed (K)guardian cherub.
I placed you;[d] you were on (L)the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
(M)from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of (N)your trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from (O)the mountain of God,
and I destroyed you,[e] (P)O guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 (Q)Your heart was proud because of (R)your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so (S)I brought fire out from your midst;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
(T)in the sight of all who saw you.

English Standard Version
2 (A)“Son of man, say to (B)the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:
(C)“Because your heart is proud,
and (D)you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet (E)you are but a man, and no god,
(F)though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 (G)you are indeed wiser (H)than (I)Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
(J)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 (K)your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6 therefore thus says the Lord God:
(L)Because you make your heart
like the heart of a god,
Jeremiah 50:44-45
English Standard Version
44 (A)“Behold, like a lion coming up from the thicket of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make them run away from her, and I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who will summon me? What shepherd (B)can stand before me? 45 Therefore hear (C)the plan that the Lord has made against Babylon, (D)and the purposes that he has formed against the land of the Chaldeans: (E)Surely the little ones of their flock shall be dragged away; surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate.

English Standard Version
24 all the nations (A)will say, (B)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, (C)bringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord (D)uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and (E)cast them into another land, as they are this day.’
