1 And it came to pass in the eleventh{H6249}{H6240} year{H8141}, in the first{H259} day of the month{H2320}, that the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto me, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

2 Son{H1121} of man{H120}, because that Tyrus{H6865} hath said{H559}{(H8804)} against Jerusalem{H3389}, Aha{H1889}, she is broken{H7665}{(H8738)} that was the gates{H1817} of the people{H5971}: she is turned{H5437}{(H8738)} unto me: I shall be replenished{H4390}{(H8735)}, now she is laid waste{H2717}{(H8717)}:

3 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus{H6865}, and will cause many{H7227} nations{H1471} to come up{H5927}{(H8689)} against thee, as the sea{H3220} causeth his waves{H1530} to come up{H5927}{(H8687)}.

4 And they shall destroy{H7843}{(H8765)} the walls{H2346} of Tyrus{H6865}, and break down{H2040}{(H8804)} her towers{H4026}: I will also scrape{H5500}{(H8765)} her dust{H6083} from her, and make{H5414}{(H8804)} her like the top{H6706} of a rock{H5553}.

5 It shall be a place for the spreading{H4894} of nets{H2764} in the midst{H8432} of the sea{H3220}: for I have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} it, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}: and it shall become a spoil{H957} to the nations{H1471}.

6 And her daughters{H1323} which are in the field{H7704} shall be slain{H2026}{(H8735)} by the sword{H2719}; and they shall know{H3045}{(H8804)} that I am the LORD{H3068}.

7 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Behold, I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} upon Tyrus{H6865} Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894}, a king{H4428} of kings{H4428}, from the north{H6828}, with horses{H5483}, and with chariots{H7393}, and with horsemen{H6571}, and companies{H6951}, and much{H7227} people{H5971}.

8 He shall slay{H2026}{(H8799)} with the sword{H2719} thy daughters{H1323} in the field{H7704}: and he shall make{H5414}{(H8804)} a fort{H1785} against thee, and cast{H8210}{(H8804)} a mount{H5550} against thee, and lift up{H6965}{(H8689)} the buckler{H6793} against thee.

9 And he shall set{H5414}{(H8799)} engines{H4239} of war{H6904} against thy walls{H2346}, and with his axes{H2719} he shall break down{H5422}{(H8799)} thy towers{H4026}.

10 By reason of the abundance{H8229} of his horses{H5483} their dust{H80} shall cover{H3680}{(H8762)} thee: thy walls{H2346} shall shake{H7493}{(H8799)} at the noise{H6963} of the horsemen{H6571}, and of the wheels{H1534}, and of the chariots{H7393}, when he shall enter{H935}{(H8800)} into thy gates{H8179}, as men enter{H3996} into a city{H5892} wherein is made a breach{H1234}{(H8794)}.

11 With the hoofs{H6541} of his horses{H5483} shall he tread down{H7429}{(H8799)} all thy streets{H2351}: he shall slay{H2026}{(H8799)} thy people{H5971} by the sword{H2719}, and thy strong{H5797} garrisons{H4676} shall go down{H3381}{(H8799)} to the ground{H776}.

12 And they shall make a spoil{H7997}{(H8804)} of thy riches{H2428}, and make a prey{H962}{(H8804)} of thy merchandise{H7404}: and they shall break down{H2040}{(H8804)} thy walls{H2346}, and destroy{H5422}{(H8799)} thy pleasant{H2532} houses{H1004}: and they shall lay{H7760}{(H8799)} thy stones{H68} and thy timber{H6086} and thy dust{H6083} in the midst{H8432} of the water{H4325}.

13 And I will cause the noise{H1995} of thy songs{H7892} to cease{H7673}{(H8689)}; and the sound{H6963} of thy harps{H3658} shall be no more heard{H8085}{(H8735)}.

14 And I will make{H5414}{(H8804)} thee like the top{H6706} of a rock{H5553}: thou shalt be a place to spread{H4894} nets{H2764} upon{H4894}; thou shalt be built{H1129}{(H8735)} no more: for I the LORD{H3068} have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} it, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.

15 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} to Tyrus{H6865}; Shall not the isles{H339} shake{H7493}{(H8799)} at the sound{H6963} of thy fall{H4658}, when the wounded{H2491} cry{H602}{(H8800)}, when the slaughter{H2027} is made{H2026}{(H8736)} in the midst{H8432} of thee?

16 Then all the princes{H5387} of the sea{H3220} shall come down{H3381}{(H8804)} from their thrones{H3678}, and lay away{H5493}{(H8689)} their robes{H4598}, and put off{H6584}{(H8799)} their broidered{H7553} garments{H899}: they shall clothe{H3847}{(H8799)} themselves with trembling{H2731}; they shall sit{H3427}{(H8799)} upon the ground{H776}, and shall tremble{H2729}{(H8804)} at every moment{H7281}, and be astonished{H8074}{(H8804)} at thee.

17 And they shall take up{H5375}{(H8804)} a lamentation{H7015} for thee, and say{H559}{(H8804)} to thee, How art thou destroyed{H6}{(H8804)}, that wast inhabited{H3427}{(H8737)} of seafaring men{H3220}, the renowned{H1984}{(H8794)} city{H5892}, which wast strong{H2389} in the sea{H3220}, she and her inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)}, which cause{H5414}{(H8804)} their terror{H2851} to be on all that haunt{H3427}{(H8802)} it!

18 Now shall the isles{H339} tremble{H2729}{(H8799)} in the day{H3117} of thy fall{H4658}; yea, the isles{H339} that are in the sea{H3220} shall be troubled{H926}{(H8738)} at thy departure{H3318}{(H8800)}.

19 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; When I shall make{H5414}{(H8800)} thee a desolate{H2717}{(H8737)} city{H5892}, like the cities{H5892} that are not inhabited{H3427}{(H8738)}; when I shall bring up{H5927}{(H8687)} the deep{H8415} upon thee, and great{H7227} waters{H4325} shall cover{H3680}{(H8765)} thee;

20 When I shall bring thee down{H3381}{(H8689)} with them that descend{H3381}{(H8802)} into the pit{H953}, with the people{H5971} of old time{H5769}, and shall set{H3427}{(H8689)} thee in the low parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}, in places desolate{H2723} of old{H5769}, with them that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} to the pit{H953}, that thou be not inhabited{H3427}{(H8799)}; and I shall set{H5414}{(H8804)} glory{H6643} in the land{H776} of the living{H2416};

21 I will make{H5414}{(H8799)} thee a terror{H1091}, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for{H1245}{(H8792)}, yet shalt thou never{H5769} be found{H4672}{(H8735)} again, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
