26AND IN the eleventh year, on the first day of the month [after the carrying away of King Jehoiachin], the word of the Lord came to me, saying,H6249H6240H8141H259H2320H1697H3068H5592Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha! She is broken that has been the gate of the people; she is open to me [Tyre]; I shall become full now that she is desolate {and} a wasteland,H1121H120H6865H559H3389H1889H7665H1817H5971H5437H4390H27173Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you as the sea mounts up by its waves.H559H136H3069H6865H7227H1471H5927H3220H1530H59274And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her and make her bare like the top of a rock.H7843H2346H6865H2040H4026H5500H6083H5414H6706H55535Her island in the midst of the sea shall become a place for the spreading of nets, for I have spoken it, says the Lord God; and she shall become a prey {and} a spoil to the nations.H4894H2764H8432H3220H1696H5002H136H3069H957H14716And Tyre's daughters [her towns and villages on the mainland] in the level place shall be slain by the sword, and they shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].H1323H7704H2026H2719H3045H30687For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will bring from the north upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, with horses and chariots and with horsemen and a host of many people.H559H136H3069H935H6865H5019H4428H894H4428H4428H6828H5483H7393H6571H6951H7227H59718He shall slay with the sword your daughters [the towns and villages] in the level area [on the mainland], and he shall make a fortified wall against you and cast up a siege mound against you and raise up a roof of bucklers {and} shields as a defense against you.H2026H2719H1323H7704H5414H1785H8210H5550H6965H67939And he shall set his battering engines in shock against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.H5414H4239H6904H2346H2719H5422H402610Because of the great number of [Nebuchadrezzar's] horses, their dust will cover you; your walls [O Tyre] will shake at the noise of the horsemen and of the wagon wheels and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates as men enter into the city in whose walls there has been made a breach.H8229H5483H80H3680H2346H7493H6963H6571H1534H7393H935H8179H3996H5892H123411With the hoofs of his horses [Nebuchadrezzar] will trample all your streets; he will slay your people with the sword and your strong pillars {or} obelisks will fall to the ground.H6541H5483H7429H2351H2026H5971H2719H5797H4676H3381H77612And [your adversaries] shall make a spoil of your riches and make booty of your merchandise. And they shall break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses, and they shall lay the stones and the timber and the very dust from your demolished city out in the midst of the water [between the island and the mainland city site to make a causeway].H7997H2428H962H7404H2040H2346H5422H2532H1004H7760H68H6086H6083H8432H432513And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease, and the sound of your lyres shall be no more heard.H1995H7892H7673H6963H3658H808514And I will make you [Tyre] a bare rock; you shall be a place upon which to spread nets; you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken it, says the Lord God.H5414H6706H5553H4894H2764H4894H1129H3068H1696H5002H136H306915Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the isles {and} coastlands shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?H559H136H3069H6865H339H7493H6963H4658H2491H602H2027H2026H843216Then 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 tremblings; they shall sit upon the ground and shall tremble every moment and be astonished at you {and} appalled.H5387H3220H3381H3678H5493H4598H6584H7553H899H3847H2731H3427H776H2729H7281H807417They shall take up a lamentation over you and say to you, How you are destroyed {and} vanished, O renowned city that was won from the seas {and} inhabited by seafaring men, renowned city that was mighty on the sea, she and her inhabitants who caused their terror to fall upon all who dwell there!H5375H7015H559H6H3427H3220H1984H5892H2389H3220H3427H5414H2851H342718Now the isles {and} coastlands tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the isles that are in the sea are troubled {and} dismayed at your departure.H339H2729H3117H4658H339H3220H926H331819For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and great waters cover you,H559H136H3069H5414H2717H5892H5892H3427H5927H8415H7227H4325H368020Then I will thrust you down with those who descend into the pit (the place of the dead) to the people of olden times, and I will make you [Tyre] to dwell in the lower world like the places that were desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited or shed forth your glory {and} renown in the land of the living.H3381H3381H953H5971H5769H3427H8482H776H2723H5769H3381H953H3427H5414H6643H776H241621I will make you a terror [bring you to a dreadful end] and you shall be no more. Though you be sought, yet you shall never be found again, says the Lord God.H5414H1091H1245H5769H4672H5002H136H3069
