1And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 1in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, because that 1Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, 2Aha, she is broken that was the 3gates of the people: 4she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
3Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 1Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause 2many nations to come up against thee, as the 3sea causeth his waves to come up.
4And they 1shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: 2I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
51It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and 2it shall become a spoil to the nations.
6And 1her daughters which 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; 1Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus 2Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a 3king of kings, 4from the north, 5with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
81He shall slay with the sword 2thy daughters in the field: and 3he shall make a fort against thee, and acast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
9And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
101By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, aas men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
11With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall 1go down to the ground.
12And 1they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy athy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
131And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
141And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for 2I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
15¶ Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles 1shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
16Then all the 1princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and 2lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with atrembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall 3tremble at every moment, and be 4astonished at thee.
17And they shall take up a 1lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited aof seafaring men, 2the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
181Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy 2departure.
19For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; 1when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
20When 1I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
21I will make thee aa terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet 1shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God.
