chapter 26
1
And it
came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the month, that the word of
the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha,
the gates of the people are broken, she is turned to me: I shall be filled, now
she is laid waste.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come
against thee, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up to thee, as the
waves of the sea rise up.
4 And they shall break down the walls of Tyre, and
destroy the towers thereof: and I will scrape her dust from her, and make her
like a smooth rock.
5 She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of
the sea, because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil
to the nations.
6 Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be
slain by the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring
against Tyre Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north,
with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people.
8 Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill
with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount
round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee.
9 And he shall set engines of mar and battering rams
against thy walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms.
10 By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust
shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and
wheels, and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of
a city that is destroyed.
11 With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all
thy streets: thy people he shall kill with the sword, and thy famous statues
shall fall to the ground.
12 They shall waste thy riches, they shall make a spoil
of thy merchandise: and they shall destroy thy walls, and pull down thy fine
houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber, and thy dust in the midst
of the waters.
13 And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease,
and the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more.
14 And I will make thee like a naked rock, then shalt
be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have
spoken it, saith. the Lord God.
15 Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the
islands shake at the sound of thy fall, and the groans of thy slain when they
shall be killed in the midst of thee?
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from
their thrones: and take off their robes, and cast away their broidered
garments, and be clothed with astonishment: they shall sit on the ground, and
with amazement shall wonder at thy sudden fall.
17 And taking up a lamentation over thee, they shall
sag to thee: How art thou fallen, that dwellest in the sea, renowned city that
wast strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants whom all did dread?
18 Now shall the ships be astonished in the day of thy
terror: and the islands in the sea shall be troubled because no one cometh out
of thee.
19 For thus saith the Lord God: When I shall make thee
a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited: and shall bring the
deep upon thee, and many waters shall cover thee:
20 And when I shall bring thee down with those that
descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and shall set thee in the
lowest parts of the earth, as places desolate of old, with them that are
brought down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited: and when I shall give
glory in the land of the living,
21 I will bring thee to nothing, and thou shalt not be,
and if thou be sought for, thou shalt not be found any more for ever, saith the
Lord God.
