she has turned to me; I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste.' 3 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. 4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD; and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 6 And her daughters who are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and many people. 8 He shall slay with the sword your daughters in the field; and he shall build a fort against you, and cast a mound against you, and lift up a shield against you. 9 And he shall set up engines of war against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers. 10 Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust shall cover you; your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. 11 With the hooves of his horses he shall tread down all your streets; he shall slay your people by the sword, and your strong garrisons shall fall to the ground. 12 And they shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the water. 13 And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. 14 And I will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place to spread nets upon; you shall be built no more; for I the LORD have spoken it, says the Lord GOD. 15 Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in your midst? 16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes and put off their embroidered garments; they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground and tremble every moment, and be astonished at you. 17 And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and say to you: 'How are you destroyed, that were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, which was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all that haunt it!' 18 Now shall the isles tremble on the day of your fall; yes, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure. 19 For thus says the Lord GOD: When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall bring up the deep upon you, and great waters shall cover you, 20 when I shall bring you down with those who descend into the pit, with the people of old, and shall set you in the low parts of the earth, in places long desolate, with those who go down to the pit, so that you are not inhabited; and I will set beauty in the land of the living, 21 I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; though you be sought for, you shall never be found again, says the Lord GOD. 1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre; 3 And say to Tyre, O you who are situated at the entry of the sea, a merchant of the peoples for many islands, Thus says the Lord GOD; O Tyre, you have said, I am of perfect beauty. 4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty. 5 They have made all your ship boards of fir trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you. 6 From the oaks of Bashan they have made your oars; the company of the Ashurites have made your benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim. 7 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was what you spread forth to be your sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was what covered you. 8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were your mariners: your wise men, O Tyre, who were in you, were your pilots. 9 The elders of Gebal and its wise men were in you, your caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to occupy your merchandise. 10 Those of Persia, Lud, and Phut were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your beauty. 11 The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and the Gammadims were in your towers: they hung their shields upon your walls all around; they made your beauty perfect. 12 Tarshish was your merchant because of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in your markets. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in your market. 14 Those of the house of Togarmah traded in your markets with horses and horsemen and mules. 15 The men of Dedan were your merchants; many islands were the merchandise of your hand: they brought you in exchange horns of ivory and ebony. 16 Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks: they occupied in your markets with emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and agate. 17 Judah and the land of Israel, they were your merchants: they traded in your market with wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 18 Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in your markets: bright iron, cassia, and calamus were in your market. 20 Dedan was your merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with you in lambs, rams, and goats: in these they were your merchants. 22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were your merchants: they occupied in your fairs with the finest of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran, Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were your merchants. 24 These were your merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among your merchandise. 25 The ships of Tarshish sang of you in your market: and you were replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. 26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas. 27 Your riches, and your markets, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your caulkers, and the occupiers of your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you, and in all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of your ruin. 28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots. 29 And all who handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; 30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: 31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. 32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, What city is like Tyre, like the one destroyed in the midst of the sea? 33 When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many people; you enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise. 34 In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall. 35 All the inhabitants of the islands shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. 36 The merchants among the peoples shall hiss at you; you shall be a terror, and never shall be any more. 1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God: 3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you: 4 With your wisdom and with your understanding you have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasures: 5 By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches: 6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have set your heart as the heart of God; 7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the most terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness. 8 They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of those who are slain in the midst of the seas. 9 Will you still say before him who slays you, I am God? but you shall be a man, and no God, in the hand of him who slays you. 10 You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD. 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 You have been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. 14 You are the anointed cherub who covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. 16 By the abundance of your trading they have filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you. 18 You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who behold you. 19 All who know you among the people shall be astonished at you: you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more. 20 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 21 Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and prophesy against it, 22 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. 23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
  • Dan 11:30 : 30 For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.
