Judgment
on Tyre |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 26:1
|
|
Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the
month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:2
|
|
"Son of man, because Tyre has said concerning
Jerusalem, 'Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has opened to me. I
shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,' |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:3
|
|
therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I
am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea
brings up its waves. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:4
|
|
'They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break
down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock.
|
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:5
|
|
'She will be a place for the spreading of nets
in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,' declares the Lord GOD, 'and she will
become spoil for the nations. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:6
|
|
'Also her daughters who are on the mainland
will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.'" |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:7
|
|
For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will
bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings,
with horses, chariots, cavalry and a great army. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:8
|
|
"He will slay your daughters on the mainland
with the sword; and he will make siege walls against you, cast up a ramp against
you and raise up a large shield against you. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:9
|
|
"The blow of his battering rams he will direct
against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:10
|
|
"Because of the multitude of his horses, the
dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of cavalry
and wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is
breached. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:11
|
|
"With the hoofs of his horses he will trample
all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars
will come down to the ground. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:12
|
|
"Also they will make a spoil of your riches
and a prey of your merchandise, break down your walls and destroy your pleasant
houses, and throw your stones and your timbers and your debris into the water. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:13
|
|
"So I will silence the sound of your songs,
and the sound of your harps will be heard no more. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:14
|
|
"I will make you a bare rock; you will be a
place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more, for I the LORD have
spoken," declares the Lord GOD. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:15
|
|
Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre, "Shall not the
coastlands shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter
occurs in your midst? |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:16
|
|
"Then all the princes of the sea will go down
from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments.
They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble
every moment and be appalled at you. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:17
|
|
"They will take up a lamentation over you and
say to you, 'How you have perished, O inhabited one, From the seas, O renowned
city, Which was mighty on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who imposed her terror
On all her inhabitants! |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:18
|
|
'Now the coastlands will tremble On the day
of your fall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be terrified at your
passing.'" |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:19
|
|
For thus says the Lord GOD, "When I make you
a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the
deep over you and the great waters cover you, |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:20
|
|
then I will bring you down with those who go
down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lower
parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the
pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the
living. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 26:21
|
|
"I will bring terrors on you and you will be
no more; though you will be sought, you will never be found again," declares the
Lord GOD. |
