The LORD condemns the prince of Tyre for claiming godlike status because of wisdom and wealth, then raises a poetic lament over the king of Tyre using Eden and cherub imagery to portray exaltation corrupted by pride and trade. Sidon is also judged, and the chapter closes with hope for Israel’s secure restoration.
