A Message Condemning Tyre

26During the eleventh year, on the first day of the month of our captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:H6249H6240H8141H259H2320H1697H3068H559
2"Son of Man, because Tyre has been saying about Jerusalem, "The international gateway is broken down, but it's wide open to me! I shall be replenished, now that it lies in ruins!H1121H120H6865H559H3389H1889H7665H1817H5971H5437H4390H2717
3"Therefore this is what the Lord God says: 'Watch out! I'm coming to get you, Tyre! I'm about to bring many nations to attack you. They'll come in wave after wave, like the breaking tide,H559H136H3069H6865H7227H1471H5927H3220H1530H5927
4and will destroy the city walls of Tyre. After they break down her fortified towers, I'll scrape away the city's debris, right down to the bare bedrock,H7843H2346H6865H2040H4026H5500H6083H5414H6706H5553
5and it will become a place where nets will be spread out right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Because I have declared this to happen,' declares the Lord God, 'Tyre will be treated as the spoils of war by the invading nations.H4894H2764H8432H3220H1696H5002H136H3069H957H1471
6Furthermore, her citizens who live on the mainland will be executed with swords. That's how they'll learn that I am the Lord.'"H1323H7704H2026H2719H3045H3068

Nebuchadnezzar’s Invasion

7"This is what the Lord God says: 'Watch out! I'm about to bring from the north King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, that king of kings. He'll come with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a vast army.H559H136H3069H935H6865H5019H4428H894H4428H4428H6828H5483H7393H6571H6951H7227H5971
8He'll execute your citizens with swords who live on the mainland. He'll build siege engines to attack you. Then he'll construct siege ramps against you and build huge shields to protect themselves against you.H2026H2719H1323H7704H5414H1785H8210H5550H6965H6793
9'He'll direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and will breach your fortified towers with axes.H5414H4239H6904H2346H2719H5422H4026
10There will be so many horses that the dust raised by them will cover you completely. The walls of your city will tremble from the noise of Nebuchadnezzar's cavalry, wagons, and chariots when they enter through the gates of your city, as men enter a city that has been breached.H8229H5483H80H3680H2346H7493H6963H6571H1534H7393H935H8179H3996H5892H1234
11'Their horses will trample all the public places as he executes your inhabitants with swords. The most fortified of your pillars will be torn to the ground.H6541H5483H7429H2351H2026H5971H2719H5797H4676H3381H776
12They will plunder your riches and loot your businesses. They'll tear down your walls and demolish your luxurious homes. They'll grab the stones, wood, and rubble from the destruction and dump it all into the Mediterranean Sea.H7997H2428H962H7404H2040H2346H5422H2532H1004H7760H68H6086H6083H8432H4325
13'I'll silence the noise of your songs and the music of your harps won't be heard anymore.H1995H7892H7673H6963H3658H8085
14I'll turn you into bare rock, and your city will become a place to spread nets. You will never be built again, because I the Lord have decreed this,' declares the Lord God."H5414H6706H5553H4894H2764H4894H1129H3068H1696H5002H136H3069

Terror at Tyre’s Destruction

15"This is what the Lord God says to Tyre: 'When your wounded citizens groan while the slaughter takes place among you, the people who live in the coastlands will tremble in terror as they hear about your fall, will they not -H559H136H3069H6865H339H7493H6963H4658H2491H602H2027H2026H8432
16That's when all the kings of the seafaring nations will abandon their thrones, strip off their fancy clothes, and collapse trembling on the ground. They'll be so frightened as they observe what has happened to you that they'll be unable to stop trembling. They will be utterly appalled at you!H5387H3220H3381H3678H5493H4598H6584H7553H899H3847H2731H3427H776H2729H7281H8074
17They'll sing this mourning song for you: "How lost you are, you inhabited city, that was built in the middle of the sea! How famous you were! How strong on the sea! She and her inhabitants inflicted terror to everyone who lived within her."'H5375H7015H559H6H3427H3220H1984H5892H2389H3220H3427H5414H2851H3427
18'Now the coastland inhabitants will tremble on the day that you fall. The coastland inhabitants, who make their living from the sea, will be terrified when you pass away!'"H339H2729H3117H4658H339H3220H926H3318
19"This is what the Lord God says: 'When I turn your city into a ghost town, when I flood you with deep waters that cover you completely,H559H136H3069H5414H2717H5892H5892H3427H5927H8415H7227H4325H3680
20I'll make sure that you go straight to the Pit, into the lowest part of the earth, where you'll be with people who lived in ancient times. You'll keep company there with the dead, who have gone into the Pit. As a result, your city won't be inhabited. Meanwhile, I will set my glory in the land of the living.H3381H3381H953H5971H5769H3427H8482H776H2723H5769H3381H953H3427H5414H6643H776H2416
21I'm going to send terrifying calamity in your direction, and you won't exist any longer. You might be sought after, but you'll never be found again,' declares the Lord God."H5414H1091H1245H5769H4672H5002H136H3069
