Ezekiel 26
Judgment on Tyre
1Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2“Son of man, because aTyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the bgateway of the peoples is broken; it has ▼▼ Lit turned
,
dopened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’ 3therefore thus says the Lord ▼▼ Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord , and so throughout the ch
God, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up fmany nations against you, as the gsea brings up its waves. 4‘They will hdestroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock. 5‘She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord God, ‘and she will become ispoil for the nations. 6‘Also her jdaughters who are ▼▼ Lit in the field
on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the Lord.’” 7For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, lking of kings, with horses, mchariots, cavalry and ▼▼ Lit an assembly, even many people
a great army. 8“He will slay your daughters ▼▼ Lit in the field
on the mainland with the sword; and he will make psiege walls against you, cast up a qramp against you and raise up a large shield against you. 9“The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his ▼▼ Lit swords
axes he will break down your towers. 10“Because of the multitude of his shorses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will tshake at the noise of cavalry and ▼▼ Lit wheels
wagons and chariots when he venters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. 11“With the hoofs of his whorses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will xcome down to the ground. 12“Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your ymerchandise, zbreak down your walls and destroy your aapleasant houses, and ▼▼ Lit put
throw your stones and your timbers and your debris acinto the water. 13“So I will ▼▼ Lit cause to cease
silence the sound of your aesongs, and the sound of your afharps will be heard no more. 14“I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be agbuilt no more, for I the ahLord have spoken,” declares the Lord God. 15Thus says the Lord God to Tyre, “Shall not the aicoastlands ajshake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter occurs in your midst? 16“Then all the princes of the sea will akgo down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will alclothe themselves with ▼▼ Lit tremblings
trembling; they will sit on the ground, antremble every moment and be appalled at you. 17“They will take up a aolamentation over you and say to you, ‘ apHow you have perished, O inhabited one,From the seas, O renowned city,
Which was aqmighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who ▼
▼ Lit put
imposed ▼▼ Lit their
her terrorOn all her inhabitants!
18‘Now the atcoastlands will tremble
On the day of your fall;
Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
Will be terrified at your aupassing.’”
19For thus says the Lord God, “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I avbring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you, 20then I will bring you down with those who awgo down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the axlower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not ▼
▼ Or return
be inhabited; but I will set azglory in the land of the living. 21“I will ▼▼ Lit give you terrors
bring bbterrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, bcyou will never be found again,” declares the Lord God.
