爾曹列王、宜具聰慧、世上士師、宜受訓誨兮、

列王宜有慧思、士師順受譴責、

現今列王、爾當覺悟、世間掌權者、須受警教、

嗚呼世之侯王兮。盍不及早省悟。鳴呼世之法吏兮。盍不自守法度。

The people of Tyre will come with gifts. Wealthy people will try to gain your favor.

If someone is wise, they will realize that what I’ve said is true. If they have understanding, they will know what it means. The ways of the Lord are right. People who are right with God live the way he wants them to. But those who refuse to obey him trip and fall.

“ People from other lands will rebuild your walls. Their kings will serve you. When I was angry with you, I struck you. But now I will show you my tender love.Your gates will always stand open. They will never be shut, day or night. Then people can bring you the wealth of the nations. Their kings will come along with them.

But many nations will be surprised when they see what he has done. Kings will be so amazed that they will not be able to say anything. They will understand things they were never told. They will know the meaning of things they never heard.”

May the kings of Tarshish and of places far away bring him gifts. May the kings of Sheba and Seba give him presents.May all kings bow down to him. May all nations serve him.

God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders. He announces his decisions among them.He says,“ How long will you stand up for those who aren’t fair to others? How long will you show mercy to sinful people?Stand up for the weak and for children whose fathers have died. Protect the rights of people who are poor or treated badly.Save those who are weak and needy. Save them from the power of sinful people.“ You leaders don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You are in the dark about what is right. Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.“ I said,‘ You leaders are like gods. You are all children of the Most High God.’But you will die, like mere human beings. You will die like every other leader.”God, rise up. Judge the earth. All the nations belong to you.

Nations will come to your light. Kings will come to the brightness of your new day.

Their kings will become like fathers to you. Their queens will be like mothers who nurse you. They will bow down to you with their faces toward the ground. They will kiss the dust at your feet to show you their respect. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Those who put their hope in me will not be ashamed.”

Jerusalem, listen to my warning. If you do not, I will turn away from you. Your land will become a desert. No one will be able to live there.”
