| 28:2 | thou sonne of man, tell the prince of Tyre: Thus sayeth the Lorde God, because thou hast a proude hert and hast sayde: I am a God, I haue my seate in the myddest of the see lyke a God: where as thou art but a man and not God, and yet standest in thyne awne conceate, that thou arte God: |
| 28:3 | Beholde, thou thynckest thy selfe wyser then Daniel, that there is no secretes hyd from the. |
| 28:4 | Wyth thy wysdome and thy vnderstandyng, thou hast gotten the great welthynes, and gathered treasure of syluer and golde. |
| 28:5 | With thy greate wysdome and occupyenge, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy greate rychesse, thy herte is proude. |
| 28:6 | Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: For so moch as thou hast lyft vp thyne hert as though thou were God: |
| 28:7 | Beholde, I will brynge ennemyes vpon the, euen the tyrauntes of the Heathen: these shall drawe out their sweardes vpon thy bewty and wysdome, & shal defyle thy glory. |
| 28:8 | They shall cast the downe to the pitte, so that thou shalt dye in the myddest of the see, |
| 28:9 | as they that be slayne. Lett se, yf thou wilt saye then (before them that slaye the) I am God: where as thou art but a man and not God, in the handes of them that slaye the. |

| 28:13 | Thou hast bene in the pleasaunt garden of God: thou art deckte with al maner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topas, Crystall, Iacynte, Onix, Iaspis, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbouncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were sett forth in the daye of thy creacyon. |
| 28:14 | Thou art a fayre Cherub exalted by the anoyntyng, stretched wyde out for to couer. I haue sett the in this dignyte vpon the holy mount of God, there hast thou bene, & walcked amonge the fayre glysteringe stones. |
| 28:15 | From the tyme of thy creacyon thou hast bene ryght excellent, tyll wickednes was founde in the. |
| 28:16 | Because of thy great marchaundise, thy hert is full of wyckednesse, & thou hast offended. Therfore, wyll I cast the from the mount of God (O thou couering Cherub) and destroye the amonge the glysterynge stones. |
| 28:17 | Thy hert was proude in thy fayre beuty, and thorow thy bewty thou hast destroyed thy wysdome. I will cast the downe to the grounde, & that in the sight of kynges. |
| 28:18 | Thou hast defyled thy Sanctuary, wt the greate wyckednes of thy vnryghteous occupyenge. I wyll bringe a fyre from the myddest of the, to consume the: & wyll make the to asshes, in the sight of all them that loke vpon the. |

| 28:21 | Thou sonne of man, set thy face agaynst Sydon. Prophecye vpon it, |
| 28:22 | and speake: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde, O Sydon, I will vpon the, and gett me honoure in the: that it maye be knowne, how that I am the Lorde: when I punyshe her, and gett me honoure in her. |
| 28:23 | For I will sende pestilence and bloudsheddyng into her streates, so that those which be slayne with the swearde, shall lye rounde aboute in the myddest of her: and they shall knowe, that I am the Lorde. |
| 28:24 | She shall nomore be a pryckyng thorne, and an hurtyng breer vnto the house of Israell, ner vnto them that lye rounde aboute her, and hate her, & they shal knowe that I am the Lorde. |
| 28:25 | Thus sayeth the Lord God: whan I gather the housholde of Israel together agayne from the nacions amonge whom they be scatered then shall I be sanctifyed in them, in the syght of the Gentyles, & they shall dwell in the land, that I gaue to my seruaunt Iacob. |
| 28:26 | They shall dwell safely therin, buylde houses, & plante vyneyardes: yee, safely shall they dwell therin: when I haue punyshed all those, that despyse them rounde aboute: & then shall they knowe, that I am the Lorde theyr God. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
