1 Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Loʀᴅ came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, because A2 Sam 5:11; Is 23:1; Jer 25:22Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the BIs 62:10gateway of the peoples is broken; it has 1Lit turnedCEzek 25:8; 35:10opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’ 3 therefore thus says the Lord 1Heb YHWH, usually rendered Loʀᴅ, and so throughout the chGoᴅ, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up AMic 4:11many nations against you, as the BIs 5:30; Jer 50:42; 51:42sea brings up its waves. 4  ‘They will AIs 23:11; Ezek 26:9; Amos 1:10destroy 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 Goᴅ, ‘and she will become AEzek 25:7; 29:19spoil for the nations. 6  ‘Also her AEzek 16:46, 53; 26:8daughters who are 1Lit in the fieldon the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the Loʀᴅ.’ ”

7 For thus says the Lord Goᴅ, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, AEzra 7:12; Is 10:8; Jer 52:32; Dan 2:37, 47king of kings, with horses, BEzek 23:24; Nah 2:3, 4chariots, cavalry and 1Lit an assembly, even many peoplea great army. 8  “He will slay your daughters 1Lit in the fieldon the mainland with the sword; and he will make AJer 52:4; Ezek 21:22siege walls against you, cast up a BJer 32:24ramp 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 1Lit swordsaxes he will break down your towers. 10  “Because of the multitude of his AJer 4:13; 47:3horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will BEzek 26:15; 27:28shake at the noise of cavalry and 1Lit wheelswagons and chariots when he CJer 39:3enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. 11  “With the hoofs of his AIs 5:28; Hab 1:8horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will BIs 26:5; Jer 43:13come down to the ground. 12  “Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your AIs 23:8, 18; Ezek 27:3-27; Zech 9:3merchandise, BJer 52:14break down your walls and destroy your C2 Chr 32:27; Amos 5:11pleasant houses, and 1Lit putthrow your stones and your timbers and your debris DEzek 27:27, 32, 34; 28:8into the water. 13  “So I will 1Lit cause to ceasesilence the sound of your AIs 23:16; 24:8, 9; Amos 6:5songs, and the sound of your BIs 5:12; Rev 18:22harps 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 ADeut 13:16; Job 12:14; Mal 1:4built no more, for I the BIs 14:27Loʀᴅ have spoken,” declares the Lord Goᴅ.

15 Thus says the Lord Goᴅ to Tyre, “Shall not the AEzek 26:18; 27:35coastlands BJer 49:21; Ezek 31:16shake 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 AJon 3:6go down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will BJob 8:22; Ps 35:26; Ezek 7:27; 1 Pet 5:5clothe themselves with 1Lit tremblingstrembling; they will sit on the ground, CEzek 32:10; Hos 11:10tremble every moment and be appalled at you. 17  “They will take up a AEzek 19:1, 14; 27:2, 32; 32:2, 16lamentation over you and say to you,

19 For thus says the Lord Goᴅ, “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I AIs 8:7, 8; Ezek 26:3bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who AIs 14:9, 10; Ezek 32:30go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the BPs 88:6; Amos 9:2; Jon 2:2, 6lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not 1Or returnbe inhabited; but I will set CJer 33:9; Zech 2:8glory in the land of the living. 21  “I will 1Lit give you terrorsbring AEzek 26:15, 16; 27:36terrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, BRev 18:21you will never be found again,” declares the Lord Goᴅ.
