As the Waves of the Sea, Surging Against the Shore

26In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, God's Message came to me:H6249H6240H8141H259H2320H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, Tyre cheered when they got the news of Jerusalem, exclaiming, "'Good! The gateway city is smashed! Now all her business comes my way. She's in ruins and I'm in clover.'H1121H120H6865H559H3389H1889H7665H1817H5971H5437H4390H2717 3"Therefore, GOD, the Master, has this to say: "'I'm against you, Tyre, and I'll bring many nations surging against you, as the waves of the sea surging against the shore.H559H136H3069H6865H7227H1471H5927H3220H1530H5927 4They'll smash the city walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I'll wash away the soil and leave nothing but bare rock.H7843H2346H6865H2040H4026H5500H6083H5414H6706H5553 5She'll be an island of bare rock in the ocean, good for nothing but drying fishnets. Yes, I've said so.' Decree of GOD, the Master. 'She'll be loot, free pickings for the nations!H4894H2764H8432H3220H1696H5002H136H3069H957H1471 6Her surrounding villages will be butchered. Then they'll realize that I am GOD.'H1323H7704H2026H2719H3045H3068 7"GOD, the Master, says: Look! Out of the north I'm bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a king's king, down on Tyre. He'll come with chariots and horses and riders—a huge army.H559H136H3069H935H6865H5019H4428H894H4428H4428H6828H5483H7393H6571H6951H7227H5971 8He'll massacre your surrounding villages and lay siege to you. He'll build siege ramps against your walls. A forest of shields will advance against you!H2026H2719H1323H7704H5414H1785H8210H5550H6965H6793 9He'll pummel your walls with his battering rams and shatter your towers with his iron weapons.H5414H4239H6904H2346H2719H5422H4026 10You'll be covered with dust from his horde of horses—a thundering herd of war horses pouring through the breaches, pulling chariots. Oh, it will be an earthquake of an army and a city in shock!H8229H5483H80H3680H2346H7493H6963H6571H1534H7393H935H8179H3996H5892H1234 11Horses will stampede through the streets. Your people will be slaughtered and your huge pillars strewn like matchsticks.H6541H5483H7429H2351H2026H5971H2719H5797H4676H3381H776 12The invaders will steal and loot—all that wealth, all that stuff! They'll knock down your fine houses and dump the stone and timber rubble into the sea.H7997H2428H962H7404H2040H2346H5422H2532H1004H7760H68H6086H6083H8432H4325 13And your parties, your famous good-time parties, will be no more. No more songs, no more lutes.H1995H7892H7673H6963H3658H8085 14I'll reduce you to an island of bare rock, good for nothing but drying fishnets. You'll never be rebuilt. I, GOD, have said so. Decree of GOD, the Master.H5414H6706H5553H4894H2764H4894H1129H3068H1696H5002H136H3069

Introduced to the Terrors of Death

15"This is the Message of GOD, the Master, to Tyre: Won't the ocean islands shake at the crash of your collapse, at the groans of your wounded, at your mayhem and massacre?H559H136H3069H6865H339H7493H6963H4658H2491H602H2027H2026H8432 16"All up and down the coast, the princes will come down from their thrones, take off their royal robes and fancy clothes, and wrap themselves in sheer terror. They'll sit on the ground, shaken to the core, horrified at you.H5387H3220H3381H3678H5493H4598H6584H7553H899H3847H2731H3427H776H2729H7281H8074 17Then they'll begin chanting a funeral song over you: "'Sunk! Sunk to the bottom of the sea, famous city on the sea! Power of the seas, you and your people, Intimidating everyone who lived in your shadows.H5375H7015H559H6H3427H3220H1984H5892H2389H3220H3427H5414H2851H3427 18But now the islands are shaking at the sound of your crash, Ocean islands in tremors from the impact of your fall.'H339H2729H3117H4658H339H3220H926H3318 19"The Message of GOD, the Master: 'When I turn you into a wasted city, a city empty of people, a ghost town, and when I bring up the great ocean deeps and cover you,H559H136H3069H5414H2717H5892H5892H3427H5927H8415H7227H4325H3680 20then I'll push you down among those who go to the grave, the long, long dead. I'll make you live there, in the grave in old ruins, with the buried dead. You'll never see the land of the living again.H3381H3381H953H5971H5769H3427H8482H776H2723H5769H3381H953H3427H5414H6643H776H2416 21I'll introduce you to the terrors of death and that'll be the end of you. They'll send out search parties for you, but you'll never be found. Decree of GOD, the Master.'"H5414H1091H1245H5769H4672H5002H136H3069
