Read Ezekiel Chapter 28 Summary

God addresses the prince of Tyre who claimed to be a god, declaring that despite his wisdom and riches, he will die as a mere man. A lamentation follows for the king of Tyre, describing an anointed cherub in Eden who fell through pride and violence; God also pronounces judgment against Sidon and promises Israel's restoration.
