26On the first day of the... month of the eleventh year of our exile, the LORD spoke to me.H6249H6240H8141H259H2320H1697H3068H559
2"Mortal man," he said, "this is what the people in the city of Tyre are cheering about. They shout, 'Jerusalem is shattered! Her commercial power is gone! She won't be our rival any more!'H1121H120H6865H559H3389H1889H7665H1817H5971H5437H4390H2717
3"Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying: I am your enemy, city of Tyre. I will bring many nations to attack you, and they will come like the waves of the sea.H559H136H3069H6865H7227H1471H5927H3220H1530H5927
4They will destroy your city walls and tear down your towers. Then I will sweep away all the dust and leave only a bare rock.H7843H2346H6865H2040H4026H5500H6083H5414H6706H5553
5Fishermen will dry their nets on it, there where it stands in the sea. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken. The nations will plunder Tyre,H4894H2764H8432H3220H1696H5002H136H3069H957H1471
6and with their swords they will kill those who live in her towns on the mainland. Then Tyre will know that I am the LORD."H1323H7704H2026H2719H3045H3068
7The Sovereign LORD says, "I am going to bring the greatest king of all - King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia - to attack Tyre. He will come from the north with a huge army, with horses and chariots and with cavalry.H559H136H3069H935H6865H5019H4428H894H4428H4428H6828H5483H7393H6571H6951H7227H5971
8Those who live in the towns on the mainland will be killed in the fighting. The enemy will dig trenches, build earthworks, and make a solid wall of shields against you.H2026H2719H1323H7704H5414H1785H8210H5550H6965H6793
9They will pound in your walls with battering rams and tear down your towers with iron bars.H5414H4239H6904H2346H2719H5422H4026
10The clouds of dust raised by their horses will cover you. The noise of their horses pulling wagons and chariots will shake your walls as they pass through the gates of the ruined city.H8229H5483H80H3680H2346H7493H6963H6571H1534H7393H935H8179H3996H5892H1234
11Their cavalry will storm through your streets, killing your people with their swords. Your mighty pillars will be thrown to the ground.H6541H5483H7429H2351H2026H5971H2719H5797H4676H3381H776
12Your enemies will help themselves to your wealth and merchandise. They will pull down your walls and shatter your luxurious houses. They will take the stones and wood and all the rubble, and dump them into the sea.H7997H2428H962H7404H2040H2346H5422H2532H1004H7760H68H6086H6083H8432H4325
13I will put an end to all your songs, and I will silence the music of your harps.H1995H7892H7673H6963H3658H8085
14I will leave only a bare rock where fishermen can dry their nets. The city will never be rebuilt. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken."H5414H6706H5553H4894H2764H4894H1129H3068H1696H5002H136H3069
15The Sovereign LORD has this to say to the city of Tyre: "When you are being conquered, the people who live along the coast will be terrified at the screams of those who are slaughtered.H559H136H3069H6865H339H7493H6963H4658H2491H602H2027H2026H8432
16All the kings of the seafaring nations will come down from their thrones. They will take off their robes and their embroidered clothes and sit trembling on the ground. They will be so terrified at your fate that they will not be able to stop trembling.H5387H3220H3381H3678H5493H4598H6584H7553H899H3847H2731H3427H776H2729H7281H8074
17They will sing this funeral song for you: The famous city is destroyed! Her ships have been swept from the seas. The people of this city ruled the seas And terrified all who lived on the coast.H5375H7015H559H6H3427H3220H1984H5892H2389H3220H3427H5414H2851H3427
18Now, on the day it has fallen, The islands are trembling, And their people are shocked at such destruction."H339H2729H3117H4658H339H3220H926H3318
19The Sovereign LORD says: "I will make you as desolate as ruined cities where no one lives. I will cover you with the water of the ocean depths.H559H136H3069H5414H2717H5892H5892H3427H5927H8415H7227H4325H3680
20I will send you down to the world of the dead to join the people who lived in ancient times. I will make you stay in that underground world among eternal ruins, keeping company with the dead. As a result you will never again be inhabited and take your place in the land of the living.H3381H3381H953H5971H5769H3427H8482H776H2723H5769H3381H953H3427H5414H6643H776H2416
21I will make you a terrifying example, and that will be the end of you. People may look for you, but you will never be found." The Sovereign LORD has spoken.H5414H1091H1245H5769H4672H5002H136H3069
