In the eleventh month
of
the
twelfth
year, on
the first day of the month, the word of the
LORD
came to me, saying,
It
happened
in the eleventh year, in
the first [
day ]
of the month, that
the word of Yahweh
came to me, saying,
“
Son of man, because Tyre has said of
Jerusalem, ‘
Aha !
The gate to
the nations
is
broken
; it
has
swung
open
to me; now
that
she
lies
in
ruins
I will
be filled
, ’
Son of man, because Tyre has said against
Jerusalem, Aha ,
she
is
broken:
the gate of
the peoples
; she
is
turned
to me; I shall
be replenished
, now
that
she
is
laid
waste:
therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says:
‘Behold
, O
Tyre
, I am against you, and I
will raise
up
many nations against you, as the sea brings
up
its waves.
therefore thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
, Behold
, I am against you, Tyre,
and will cause
many nations to
come
up
against you, as the sea causes
its waves to
come
up
.
They will
destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish
her towers .
I will scrape the
soil
from her and make her a bare rock.
They shall
destroy the walls of Tyre ,
and break
down
her towers :
I will also
scrape her
dust
from her ,
and make her a bare rock.
She will
become
a place to
spread
nets in the sea ,
for I have spoken, declares
the Lord GOD.
She will
become plunder
for
the nations ,
She shall
be
a place for
the
spreading
of
nets in the midst
of
the
sea ;
for I have spoken it
, says
the Lord Yahweh;
and
she shall
become a
spoil
to
the nations .
and
the
villages
on
her mainland
will
be slain by
the sword .
Then
they will
know that I am the
LORD
. ’
Her daughters
who
are
in
the
field
shall
be slain with
the sword :
and
they shall
know that I am Yahweh
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Behold, I will bring against
Tyre from
the
north
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry
and a great
company of
troops
.
For thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Behold, I will bring on
Tyre Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, king of kings, from
the
north,
with horses ,
and with
chariots, and
with horsemen,
and a company ,
and
much
people
.
He will
slaughter
the
villages
of
your
mainland
with the sword; he will
set
up
siege
works
against you, build
a ramp
to
your
walls
, and raise his
shields
against you.
He shall
kill
with the sword your
daughters
in
the
field
; and
he shall
make
forts
against you, and
cast
up
a mound
against
you
, and raise up
the
buckler
against you.
He will
direct
the
blows
of
his battering rams
against your walls and tear
down
your
towers
with his axes.
He shall
set
his battering engines
against your walls ,
and with his axes he
shall
break
down
your
towers
.
His
multitude
of horses will
cover
you
in
their dust .
When
he
enters
your
gates
as
an
army
entering
a
breached
city,
your walls will
shake from
the noise of cavalry
, wagons, and chariots.
By
reason
of the
abundance
of
his
horses their dust shall
cover
you:
your walls shall
shake at
the noise of the
horsemen
, and
of
the
wagons, and of
the
chariots ,
when
he
shall
enter
into
your
gates,
as
men
enter
into
a
city
in
which
is
made
a
breach
.
The hooves
of his horses will
trample
all your streets .
He will
slaughter
your people with the sword ,
and your
mighty
pillars will
fall
to the ground.
With
the hoofs
of his horses shall
he
tread
down
all your streets ;
he shall
kill
your people with the sword ;
and the
pillars of
your
strength
shall
go
down
to the ground.
They will
plunder
your wealth
and pillage
your merchandise .
They will
demolish
your walls, tear
down
your beautiful
homes,
and throw
your stones and timber and soil
into
the water
.
They shall
make
a
spoil
of
your riches,
and make
a
prey
of
your merchandise ;
and
they shall
break
down
your walls, and
destroy
your pleasant
houses;
and they
shall
lay
your stones and your
timber and your
dust
in
the midst
of
the
waters
.
So
I will silence
the sound
of your songs ,
and the music
of your lyres
will
no
longer
be heard.
I will cause
the noise
of your songs to
cease;
and the sound
of your harps
shall
be no
more
heard.
I will make you a bare rock ,
and
you will
become
a place to
spread
the fishing
nets .
You will
never
be rebuilt,
for I ,
the
LORD,
have spoken, declares
the Lord GOD
. ’
I will make you a bare rock ;
you shall
be
a place for
the spreading
of
nets ;
you shall
be built
no
more:
for I Yahweh
have spoken it
, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
to Tyre: ‘Will
not the coastlands
quake
at the sound of your downfall
, when the wounded groan at
the slaughter in your
midst?
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
to Tyre: shall
not the isles
shake
at the sound of your fall
, when the wounded groan ,
when
the slaughter is
made
in the
midst of
you
?
All the princes of the sea will
descend
from their thrones, remove
their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments .
Clothed
with terror,
they will
sit on the ground, trembling
every moment, appalled
over
you.
Then
all the princes of the sea shall
come
down
from their thrones, and
lay
aside
their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments :
they
shall
clothe
themselves
with trembling;
they shall
sit on the ground, and
shall
tremble
every moment, and
be
astonished
at
you.
Then
they will
lament
for
you, saying
, “
How you have
perished
, O
city
of
renown
inhabited by seafaring men —
she
who was powerful
on
the sea, along
with
her people
, who imposed
terror on all peoples
!
They shall
take
up
a
lamentation
over
you, and
tell
you
, How are
you destroyed
, who
were
inhabited by seafaring men ,
the
renowned
city,
who was strong
in
the sea, she
and
her inhabitants
, who caused
their
terror to
be
on all who
lived
there
!
Now the coastlands
tremble on
the day of your downfall
; the islands
in the sea are
dismayed by
your demise
. ”’
Now shall
the isles
tremble in
the day of your fall
; yes,
the isles
that
are
in the sea shall
be
dismayed at
your departure
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
When I make you a desolate city like other
deserted
cities ,
and
when I raise
up the deep against
you so
that
the mighty
waters cover you ,
For thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: When I shall
make you a desolate city ,
like the
cities that
are
not
inhabited;
when I shall
bring
up the deep on
you ,
and
the great
waters shall
cover you ;
then I
will bring you down with those who descend to
the Pit, to the people of antiquity.
I
will make you dwell in the earth below
like
the ancient
ruins
, with those who descend
to the Pit, so
that you will
no
longer
be inhabited or
set in
splendor
in the land of the living .
then will I
bring you down with those who descend into
the pit, to the people of old
time,
and
will make you to
dwell in the lower
parts
of
the
earth ,
in
the places
that
are
desolate
of
old
, with those who go
down
to the pit, that you be not
inhabited ;
and
I
will
set glory
in the land of the living :
I will make you an
object
of
horror
, and you will
be
no more .
You will
be
sought, but
will
never be found, ’
declares
the Lord GOD
. ”
I will make you a
terror
, and you shall
no more have
any
being;
though
you are
sought for
, yet
shall
you
never be found again
, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
