26In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H6249H6240H8141H259H2320H1697H3068H5592"Son of man, because Tyre 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,'H1121H120H6865H559H3389H1889H7665H1817H5971H5437H4390H27173therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.H559H136H3069H6865H7227H1471H5927H3220H1530H59274They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers, and I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.H7843H2346H6865H2040H4026H5500H6083H5414H6706H55535She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for the spreading of nets, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. And she shall become plunder for the nations,H4894H2764H8432H3220H1696H5002H136H3069H957H14716and her daughters on the mainland shall be killed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.H1323H7704H2026H2719H3045H30687"For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers.H559H136H3069H935H6865H5019H4428H894H4428H4428H6828H5483H7393H6571H6951H7227H59718He will kill with the sword your daughters on the mainland. He will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise a roof of shields against you.H2026H2719H1323H7704H5414H1785H8210H5550H6965H67939He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.H5414H4239H6904H2346H2719H5422H402610His 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.H8229H5483H80H3680H2346H7493H6963H6571H1534H7393H935H8179H3996H5892H123411With 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.H6541H5483H7429H2351H2026H5971H2719H5797H4676H3381H77612They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters.H7997H2428H962H7404H2040H2346H5422H2532H1004H7760H68H6086H6083H8432H432513And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.H1995H7892H7673H6963H3658H808514I will make you a bare rock. You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, for I am the LORD; I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.H5414H6706H5553H4894H2764H4894H1129H3068H1696H5002H136H306915"Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre: Will not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst?H559H136H3069H6865H339H7493H6963H4658H2491H602H2027H2026H843216Then all the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground and tremble every moment and be appalled at you.H5387H3220H3381H3678H5493H4598H6584H7553H899H3847H2731H3427H776H2729H7281H807417And they will raise 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 inhabitants imposed their terror on all her inhabitants!H5375H7015H559H6H3427H3220H1984H5892H2389H3220H3427H5414H2851H342718Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall, and the coastlands that are on the sea are dismayed at your passing.'H339H2729H3117H4658H339H3220H926H331819"For thus says the Lord GOD: 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,H559H136H3069H5414H2717H5892H5892H3427H5927H8415H7227H4325H368020then I 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 beauty in the land of the living.H3381H3381H953H5971H5769H3427H8482H776H2723H5769H3381H953H3427H5414H6643H776H241621I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord GOD."H5414H1091H1245H5769H4672H5002H136H3069
