1
And it came to pass in the eleventh[H6249]year[H8141], in the first[H259] day of the month[H2320], that the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came unto me, saying[H559],
2Son[H1121] of man[H120], because that Tyrus[H6865] hath said[H559] against Jerusalem[H3389], Aha[H1889], she is broken[H7665] that was the gates[H1817] of the people[H5971]: she is turned[H5437] unto me: I shall be replenished[H4390], now she is laid waste[H2717]:
3
Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus[H6865], and will cause many[H7227]nations[H1471] to come up[H5927] against thee, as the sea[H3220] causeth his waves[H1530] to come up[H5927].
4
And they shall destroy[H7843] the walls[H2346] of Tyrus[H6865], and break down[H2040] her towers[H4026]: I will also scrape[H5500] her dust[H6083] from her, and make[H5414] her like the top[H6706] of a rock[H5553].
5
It shall be a place for the spreading[H4894] of nets[H2764] in the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220]: for I have spoken[H1696] it, saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]: and it shall become a spoil[H957] to the nations[H1471].
6
And her daughters[H1323] which are in the field[H7704] shall be slain[H2026] by the sword[H2719]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
7
For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Behold, I will bring[H935] upon Tyrus[H6865]Nebuchadrezzar[H5019]king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], a king[H4428] of kings[H4428], from the north[H6828], with horses[H5483], and with chariots[H7393], and with horsemen[H6571], and companies[H6951], and much[H7227]people[H5971].
8
He shall slay[H2026] with the sword[H2719] thy daughters[H1323] in the field[H7704]: and he shall make[H5414] a fort[H1785] against thee, and cast[H8210] a mount[H5550] against thee, and lift up[H6965] the buckler[H6793] against thee.
9
And he shall set[H5414]engines[H4239] of war[H6904] against thy walls[H2346], and with his axes[H2719] he shall break down[H5422] thy towers[H4026].
10
By reason of the abundance[H8229] of his horses[H5483] their dust[H80] shall cover[H3680] thee: thy walls[H2346] shall shake[H7493] at the noise[H6963] of the horsemen[H6571], and of the wheels[H1534], and of the chariots[H7393], when he shall enter[H935] into thy gates[H8179], as men enter[H3996] into a city[H5892] wherein is made a breach[H1234].
11
With the hoofs[H6541] of his horses[H5483] shall he tread down[H7429] all thy streets[H2351]: he shall slay[H2026] thy people[H5971] by the sword[H2719], and thy strong[H5797]garrisons[H4676] shall go down[H3381] to the ground[H776].
12
And they shall make a spoil[H7997] of thy riches[H2428], and make a prey[H962] of thy merchandise[H7404]: and they shall break down[H2040] thy walls[H2346], and destroy[H5422] thy pleasant[H2532]houses[H1004]: and they shall lay[H7760] thy stones[H68] and thy timber[H6086] and thy dust[H6083] in the midst[H8432] of the water[H4325].
13
And I will cause the noise[H1995] of thy songs[H7892] to cease[H7673]; and the sound[H6963] of thy harps[H3658] shall be no more heard[H8085].
14
And I will make[H5414] thee like the top[H6706] of a rock[H5553]: thou shalt be a place to spread[H4894]nets[H2764]upon[H4894]; thou shalt be built[H1129] no more: for I the LORD[H3068] have spoken[H1696] it, saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069].
15
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069] to Tyrus[H6865]; Shall not the isles[H339]shake[H7493] at the sound[H6963] of thy fall[H4658], when the wounded[H2491]cry[H602], when the slaughter[H2027] is made[H2026] in the midst[H8432] of thee?
16
Then all the princes[H5387] of the sea[H3220] shall come down[H3381] from their thrones[H3678], and lay away[H5493] their robes[H4598], and put off[H6584] their broidered[H7553]garments[H899]: they shall clothe[H3847] themselves with trembling[H2731]; they shall sit[H3427] upon the ground[H776], and shall tremble[H2729] at every moment[H7281], and be astonished[H8074] at thee.
17
And they shall take up[H5375] a lamentation[H7015] for thee, and say[H559] to thee, How art thou destroyed[H6], that wast inhabited[H3427] of seafaring men[H3220], the renowned[H1984]city[H5892], which wast strong[H2389] in the sea[H3220], she and her inhabitants[H3427], which cause[H5414] their terror[H2851] to be on all that haunt[H3427] it!
18
Now shall the isles[H339]tremble[H2729] in the day[H3117] of thy fall[H4658]; yea, the isles[H339] that are in the sea[H3220] shall be troubled[H926] at thy departure[H3318].
19
For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; When I shall make[H5414] thee a desolate[H2717]city[H5892], like the cities[H5892] that are not inhabited[H3427]; when I shall bring up[H5927] the deep[H8415] upon thee, and great[H7227]waters[H4325] shall cover[H3680] thee;
20
When I shall bring thee down[H3381] with them that descend[H3381] into the pit[H953], with the people[H5971] of old[H5769]time[H5769], and shall set[H3427] thee in the low parts[H8482] of the earth[H776], in places desolate[H2723] of old[H5769], with them that go down[H3381] to the pit[H953], that thou be not inhabited[H3427]; and I shall set[H5414]glory[H6643] in the land[H776] of the living[H2416];
21
I will make[H5414] thee a terror[H1091], and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for[H1245], yet shalt thou never[H5769] be found[H4672] again, saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069].
