Ezekiel  


26 : 1 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of theLordcame to me:
26 : 2 Son of man, becauseTyre said concerning Jerusalem,Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,
26 : 3 therefore thus says the LordGod:Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring upmany nations against you,as the sea brings up its waves.
26 : 4 They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers, and I will scrape her soil from her andmake her a bare rock.
26 : 5 Sheshall be in the midst of the sea a place for the spreading of nets,for I have spoken, declares the LordGod. And she shall become plunder for the nations,
26 : 6 and her daughters on the mainland shall be killed by the sword.Then they will know that I am theLord.
26 : 7 For thus says the LordGod:Behold, I will bring against Tyrefrom the north Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon,king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers.
26 : 8 He will kill with the swordyour daughters on the mainland.He will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raisea roof of shields against you.
26 : 9 He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
26 : 10 His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached.
26 : 11 With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.
26 : 12 They will plunderyour riches and lootyour merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber andsoil they will cast into the midst of the waters.
26 : 13 And I will stop the music of your songs, andthe sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.
26 : 14 I will make you a bare rock.You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt,for I am theLord; I have spoken, declares the LordGod.
26 : 15 Thus says the LordGodto Tyre: Will notthe coastlands shake at the sound of your fall,when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst?
26 : 16 Then allthe princes of the sea will step down from their thrones andremove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling;they will sit on the ground andtremble every moment andbe appalled at you.
26 : 17 And they willraise a lamentation over you and say to you,How you have perished,you who were inhabited from the seas,O city renowned,who was mighty on the sea;she and her inhabitantsimposed their terroron all her inhabitants!
26 : 18 Now the coastlands trembleon the day of your fall,and the coastlands that are on the seaare dismayed at your passing.
26 : 19 For thus says the LordGod: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited,when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you,
26 : 20 thenI will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old,with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beautyin the land of the living.
26 : 21 I will bring youto a dreadful end, and you shall be no more.Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the LordGod.
