Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:14.62\00:00:17.01
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
today we'll be reading together
00:00:17.02\00:00:20.00
from the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:20.01\00:00:21.67
So let's pray before we start.
00:00:21.68\00:00:24.27
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.28\00:00:27.12
for your very great love for us.
00:00:27.13\00:00:29.49
Thank you that
you died to redeem us
00:00:29.50\00:00:32.36
and that you've given
us these words to show us
00:00:32.37\00:00:35.98
how we can know you better.
00:00:35.99\00:00:37.88
Please be with
us now, as we read
00:00:37.89\00:00:39.61
and I ask in the
name of Jesus, amen.
00:00:39.62\00:00:43.38
We're reading in
Ezekiel Chapter 26,
00:00:43.39\00:00:46.62
and when we left off
God was speaking about
00:00:46.63\00:00:50.69
how
Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon
00:00:50.70\00:00:53.74
would come upon Tyros.
00:00:53.75\00:00:55.58
We're picking up
in Ezekiel 26 Verse 8,
00:00:55.59\00:01:01.29
He shall slay with the
sword thy daughters in the field
00:01:01.30\00:01:04.95
and he shall make
a fort against thee,
00:01:04.96\00:01:06.82
and cast a mount against thee,
00:01:06.83\00:01:08.55
and lift up the
buckler against thee.
00:01:08.56\00:01:10.97
And he shall set engines
of war against thy walls,
00:01:10.98\00:01:14.29
and with his axes he
shall break down thy towers.
00:01:14.30\00:01:18.73
By reason of the
abundance of his horses
00:01:18.74\00:01:21.02
their dust shall cover thee,
00:01:21.03\00:01:23.09
thy walls shall shake at
the noise of the horsemen,
00:01:23.10\00:01:25.79
and of the wheels,
and of the chariots,
00:01:25.80\00:01:28.03
when he shall
enter into thy gates,
00:01:28.04\00:01:29.73
as men enter into a city
wherein is made a breach.
00:01:29.74\00:01:34.76
With the hoofs of his horses
00:01:34.77\00:01:36.20
shall he tread
down all thy streets
00:01:36.21\00:01:38.63
he shall slay thy
people by the sword,
00:01:38.64\00:01:40.99
and thy strong garrisons
shall go down to the ground.
00:01:41.00\00:01:45.38
And they shall make
a spoil of thy riches,
00:01:45.39\00:01:47.42
and make a prey
of thy merchandise
00:01:47.43\00:01:49.49
and they shall
break down thy walls,
00:01:49.50\00:01:51.24
and destroy thy pleasant houses
00:01:51.25\00:01:54.75
and they shall lay
thy stones and thy timber
00:01:54.76\00:01:57.24
and thy dust in
the midst of the water.
00:01:57.25\00:02:01.17
And I will cause the
noise of thy songs to cease
00:02:01.18\00:02:05.62
and the sound of thy
harps shall be no more heard.
00:02:05.63\00:02:09.44
And I will make thee
like the top of a rock
00:02:09.45\00:02:12.13
thou shalt be a
place to spread nets upon
00:02:12.14\00:02:14.39
thou shalt be built no more
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.45
for I the Lord have
spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
00:02:16.46\00:02:20.97
Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus
00:02:20.98\00:02:23.25
Shall not the isles
shake at the sound of thy fall,
00:02:23.26\00:02:27.16
when the wounded cried
00:02:27.17\00:02:28.55
when the slaughter is
made in the midst of thee?
00:02:28.56\00:02:31.90
Then all the princes
of the sea shall come down
00:02:31.91\00:02:34.64
from their thrones,
and lay away their robes,
00:02:34.65\00:02:37.43
and put off their
broidered garments
00:02:37.44\00:02:40.14
they shall clothe
themselves with trembling
00:02:40.15\00:02:43.09
they shall sit upon the ground,
00:02:43.10\00:02:44.64
and shall
tremble at every moment,
00:02:44.65\00:02:47.22
and be astonished at thee.
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.26
And they shall take up
a lamentation for thee,
00:02:50.27\00:02:52.29
and say to thee,
How art thou destroyed,
00:02:52.30\00:02:55.72
that wast
inhabited of seafaring men,
00:02:55.73\00:02:58.30
the renowned city,
which wast strong in the sea,
00:02:58.31\00:03:01.34
she and her inhabitants,
00:03:01.35\00:03:02.91
which cause their terror
to be on all that haunt it!
00:03:02.92\00:03:07.15
Now shall the isles
tremble in the day of thy fall,
00:03:07.16\00:03:11.15
yea, the isles
that are in the sea
00:03:11.16\00:03:13.49
shall be
troubled at thy departure.
00:03:13.50\00:03:16.55
For thus saith the Lord God,
00:03:16.56\00:03:18.09
When I shall make
thee a desolate city,
00:03:18.10\00:03:20.44
like the cities
that are not inhabited
00:03:20.45\00:03:23.14
when I shall bring
up the deep upon thee,
00:03:23.15\00:03:25.16
and great waters
shall cover thee.
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.95
When I shall bring
thee down with them
00:03:27.96\00:03:30.16
the descendent into the pit
with the people of old time,
00:03:30.17\00:03:33.00
and shall set thee in
the low parts of the earth,
00:03:33.01\00:03:36.01
in places desolate of old,
00:03:36.02\00:03:37.75
with them that
go down to the pit,
00:03:37.76\00:03:39.80
that thou be not inhabited
00:03:39.81\00:03:41.76
and I shall set glory
in the land of the living.
00:03:41.77\00:03:45.28
I will make thee a terror,
00:03:45.29\00:03:47.39
and thou shalt be no more,
00:03:47.40\00:03:49.58
though thou be sought for,
00:03:49.59\00:03:51.41
yet shalt thou
never be found again,
00:03:51.42\00:03:55.20
saith the Lord GOD.
00:03:55.21\00:03:57.76
Continuing with
Ezekiel Chapter 27
00:03:57.77\00:04:00.51
and this is the
Kings James Version.
00:04:00.52\00:04:03.35
The word of the LORD
came again unto me, saying,
00:04:03.36\00:04:06.49
Now, thou son of man, take
up a lamentation for Tyrus.
00:04:06.50\00:04:10.24
And say unto Tyrus,
00:04:10.25\00:04:12.97
O thou that art situate
at the entry of the sea,
00:04:12.98\00:04:16.47
which art a merchant of
the people for many isles,
00:04:16.48\00:04:20.20
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:04:20.21\00:04:21.86
O Tyrus, thou hast said,
00:04:21.87\00:04:24.73
I am of perfect beauty.
00:04:24.74\00:04:27.41
Thy borders are in
the midst of the seas,
00:04:27.42\00:04:30.20
thy builders have
perfected thy beauty.
00:04:30.21\00:04:34.29
They have made
all thy ship boards
00:04:34.30\00:04:36.18
of fir trees of Senir
they have taken cedars
00:04:36.19\00:04:40.10
from Lebanon to
make masts for thee.
00:04:40.11\00:04:43.19
Of the oaks of Bashan
have they made thine oars,
00:04:43.20\00:04:46.97
the company of the Ashurites
00:04:46.98\00:04:49.16
have made thy benches of ivory,
00:04:49.17\00:04:51.55
brought out of
the isles of Chittim.
00:04:51.56\00:04:54.41
Fine linen with
broidered work from Egypt
00:04:54.42\00:04:57.12
was that which thou
spreadest forth to be thy sail,
00:04:57.13\00:05:00.05
blue and purple
from the isles of Elishah
00:05:00.06\00:05:02.94
was that which covered thee.

that were in
thee, were thy pilots.
00:05:10.31\00:05:13.54

occupy thy merchandise.

They of Persia and of Lud
and of Phut were in thine army,
00:05:23.30\00:05:27.48
thy men of war,
00:05:27.49\00:05:28.76
they hanged the
shield and helmet in thee,
00:05:28.77\00:05:31.23
they set forth thy comeliness.
00:05:31.24\00:05:34.20
The men of Arvad with thine army
00:05:34.21\00:05:36.28
were upon thy walls round about,
00:05:36.29\00:05:39.68
and the Gammadims
were in thy towers:
00:05:39.69\00:05:42.02

upon thy walls round about;

they have made
thy beauty perfect.

The ships of Tarshish did
sing of thee in thy market,

and thou wast replenished,
00:07:52.37\00:07:53.92
and made very glorious
in the midst of the seas.
00:07:53.93\00:07:58.11
Thy rowers have
brought thee into great waters,
00:07:58.12\00:08:01.05
the east wind hath broken
thee in the midst of the seas.
00:08:01.06\00:08:05.04
Thy riches, and thy
fairs, thy merchandise,
00:08:05.05\00:08:08.94
thy mariners, and

00:08:08.95\00:08:13.10
and the occupiers
of thy merchandise,
00:08:13.11\00:08:14.76
and all thy men of
war, that are in thee,
00:08:14.77\00:08:17.12
and in all thy company
which is in the midst of thee,
00:08:17.13\00:08:20.74
shall fall into the midst of
the seas in the day of thy ruin.
00:08:20.75\00:08:26.69
The suburbs shall shake at the
sound of the cry of thy pilots.
00:08:26.70\00:08:31.68
And all that handle the oar,
00:08:31.69\00:08:33.37
the mariners, and all
the pilots of the sea,
00:08:33.38\00:08:35.93
shall come down
from their ships,
00:08:35.94\00:08:38.17
they shall stand upon the land.
00:08:38.18\00:08:39.74
And shall cause their
voice to be heard against thee,
00:08:39.75\00:08:42.08
and shall cry bitterly,
00:08:42.09\00:08:43.74
and shall cast up
dust upon their heads,
00:08:43.75\00:08:46.82
they shall wallow
themselves in the ashes.
00:08:46.83\00:08:50.98
And they shall make themselves
utterly bald for thee,
00:08:50.99\00:08:54.24
and gird them with sackcloth,
00:08:54.25\00:08:55.70
and they shall weep for
thee with bitterness of heart
00:08:55.71\00:08:59.91
and bitter wailing.
00:08:59.92\00:09:02.51
And in their
wailing they shall take up
00:09:03.62\00:09:05.58
a lamentation for
thee, and lament over thee,
00:09:05.59\00:09:09.31
saying, what city is like Tyrus,
00:09:09.32\00:09:13.98
like the destroyed
in the midst of the sea?
00:09:13.99\00:09:18.05
When thy wares went
forth out of the seas,
00:09:18.06\00:09:20.45
thou filledst many people,
00:09:20.46\00:09:22.87
thou didst enrich the kings
of the earth with the multitude
00:09:22.88\00:09:25.73
of thy riches and
of thy merchandise.
00:09:25.74\00:09:29.37
In the time when thou
shalt be broken by the seas
00:09:29.38\00:09:32.90
in the depths of the
waters thy merchandise
00:09:32.91\00:09:36.03
and all thy company in
the midst of thee shall fall.
00:09:36.04\00:09:39.98
All the inhabitants of the isles
shall be astonished at thee,
00:09:39.99\00:09:44.84
and their kings
shall be sore afraid,
00:09:44.85\00:09:47.90
they shall be
troubled in their countenance.
00:09:47.91\00:09:51.86
The merchants among the
people shall hiss at thee,
00:09:51.87\00:09:55.17
thou shalt be a terror,
and never shalt be any more.
00:09:55.18\00:10:00.53
Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 28
00:10:00.54\00:10:03.01
and this is the
King James Version.
00:10:03.02\00:10:05.72
The word of the Lord
came again unto me, saying,
00:10:05.73\00:10:09.05
Son of man, say
unto the prince of Tyrus,
00:10:09.06\00:10:12.38
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:10:12.39\00:10:14.31
Because thine
heart is lifted up,
00:10:14.32\00:10:16.40
and thou hast said, I am a God,
00:10:16.41\00:10:19.52
I sit in the seat of
God, in the midst of the seas,
00:10:19.53\00:10:23.19
yet thou art a
man, and not a God,
00:10:23.20\00:10:25.91
though thou set thine
heart as the heart of God.
00:10:25.92\00:10:29.63
Behold, thou art
wiser than Daniel,
00:10:29.64\00:10:32.01
there is no secret that
they can hide from thee.
00:10:32.02\00:10:34.74
With thy wisdom and
with thine understanding
00:10:34.75\00:10:37.09
thou hast gotten thee riches,
00:10:37.10\00:10:38.49
and hast gotten gold and
silver into thy treasures.
00:10:38.50\00:10:42.15
By thy great
wisdom and by thy traffick
00:10:42.16\00:10:44.42
hast thou increased thy riches,
00:10:44.43\00:10:46.11
and thine heart is
lifted up because of thy riches.
00:10:46.12\00:10:49.44
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:10:49.45\00:10:51.34
Because thou hast set
thine heart as the heart of God.
00:10:51.35\00:10:55.53
Behold, therefore I will
bring strangers upon thee,
00:10:55.54\00:10:58.84
the terrible of the nations
00:10:58.85\00:11:01.01
and they shall draw their swords
00:11:01.02\00:11:02.50
against the
beauty of thy wisdom,
00:11:02.51\00:11:05.15
and they shall
defile thy brightness.
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.08
They shall bring
thee down to the pit,
00:11:07.09\00:11:08.84
and thou shalt
die the deaths of them
00:11:08.85\00:11:11.30
that are slain in
the midst of the seas.
00:11:11.31\00:11:14.08
Wilt thou yet say
before him that slayeth thee,
00:11:14.09\00:11:17.09
I am God?
00:11:17.10\00:11:18.67
but thou shalt be
a man, and no God,
00:11:18.68\00:11:21.28
in the hand of
him that slayeth thee.
00:11:21.29\00:11:23.88
Thou shalt die the
deaths of the uncircumcised
00:11:23.89\00:11:26.62
by the hand of strangers,
00:11:26.63\00:11:27.94
for I have spoken
it, saith the Lord God.
00:11:27.95\00:11:32.25
Moreover the word of the Lord,
00:11:32.26\00:11:33.38
came unto me,
saying, Son of man,
00:11:33.39\00:11:34.87
take up a lamentation
upon the king of Tyrus,
00:11:34.88\00:11:37.11
and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:11:37.12\00:11:41.44
Thou sealest up the
sum, full of wisdom,
00:11:41.45\00:11:44.69
and perfect in beauty.
00:11:44.70\00:11:46.89
Thou hast been in
Eden the garden of God,
00:11:46.90\00:11:49.70
every precious
stone was thy covering,
00:11:49.71\00:11:52.54
the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond, the beryl,
00:11:52.55\00:11:55.28
the onyx, and the jasper,
the sapphire, the emerald,
00:11:55.29\00:11:58.45
and the carbuncle, and gold,
the workmanship of thy tabrets
00:11:58.46\00:12:01.97
and of thy pipes was
prepared in thee in the day
00:12:01.98\00:12:05.11
that thou wast created.
00:12:05.12\00:12:06.93
Thou art the
anointed cherub that covereth,
00:12:06.94\00:12:10.08
and I have set thee so,
00:12:10.09\00:12:11.96
thou wast upon the
holy mountain of God
00:12:11.97\00:12:14.96
thou hast walked up and down
00:12:14.97\00:12:16.68
in the midst of
the stones of fire.
00:12:16.69\00:12:19.87
Thou wast perfect in
thy ways from the day
00:12:19.88\00:12:23.04
that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee.
00:12:23.05\00:12:27.88
By the multitude
of thy merchandise
00:12:27.89\00:12:29.93
they have filled the
midst of thee with violence,
00:12:29.94\00:12:32.56
and thou hast sinned,
00:12:32.57\00:12:34.57
therefore I will
cast thee as profane
00:12:34.58\00:12:38.00
out of the mountain of God
00:12:38.01\00:12:40.07
and I will destroy
thee, O covering cherub,
00:12:40.08\00:12:43.10
from the midst of
the stones of fire.
00:12:43.11\00:12:46.73
Thine heart was lifted
up because of thy beauty,
00:12:46.74\00:12:50.40
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom
by reason of thy brightness.
00:12:50.41\00:12:55.42
I will cast thee to the ground,
00:12:55.43\00:12:57.47
I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee.
00:12:57.48\00:13:01.75
Thou hast
defiled thy sanctuaries
00:13:01.76\00:13:04.26
by the multitude
of thine iniquities,
00:13:04.27\00:13:06.96
by the iniquity of thy traffick,
00:13:06.97\00:13:09.64
therefore will I bring forth
a fire from the midst of thee,
00:13:09.65\00:13:13.24
it shall devour thee,
00:13:13.25\00:13:14.29
and I will bring thee
to ashes upon the earth
00:13:14.30\00:13:16.74
in the sight of all
them that behold thee.
00:13:16.75\00:13:20.40
All they that know
thee among the people
00:13:20.41\00:13:22.38
shall be astonished at
thee thou shalt be a terror,
00:13:22.39\00:13:26.22
and never shalt
thou be any more.
00:13:26.23\00:13:30.53
Again the word of
the Lord came unto me,
00:13:30.54\00:13:31.95
saying, Son of man,
00:13:31.96\00:13:33.73
set thy face against
Zidon, and prophesy against it.
00:13:33.74\00:13:37.04
And say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD,
00:13:37.05\00:13:40.27
Behold, I am
against thee, O Zidon,
00:13:40.28\00:13:42.42
and I will be
glorified in the midst of thee
00:13:42.43\00:13:45.22
and they shall
know that I am the Lord,
00:13:45.23\00:13:47.54
when I shall have
executed judgments in her,
00:13:47.55\00:13:50.14
and shall be sanctified in her.
00:13:50.15\00:13:52.66
For I will send
into her pestilence,
00:13:52.67\00:13:55.49
and blood into her streets,
00:13:55.50\00:13:57.81
and the wounded shall be
judged in the midst of her
00:13:57.82\00:14:00.42
by the sword upon
her on every side,
00:14:00.43\00:14:03.42
and they shall
know that I am the Lord.
00:14:03.43\00:14:06.86
And there shall be
no more a pricking brier
00:14:06.87\00:14:09.55
unto the house of Israel,
00:14:09.56\00:14:10.97
nor any grieving thorn of
all that are round about them,
00:14:10.98\00:14:14.53
that despised them,
00:14:14.54\00:14:16.18
and they shall know
that I am the Lord God.
00:14:16.19\00:14:19.70
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:14:19.71\00:14:21.38
When I shall have
gathered the house of Israel
00:14:21.39\00:14:24.27
from the people among
whom they are scattered,
00:14:24.28\00:14:27.35
and shall be sanctified in them
in the sight of the heathen,
00:14:27.36\00:14:32.01
then shall they
dwell in their land
00:14:32.02\00:14:34.62
that I have given
to my servant Jacob.
00:14:34.63\00:14:38.06
