1And it was in the twelfth year, in the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying.2Son of Adam, because Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, "A brother is broken; the doors of the peoples have turned to me. I will be filled from the ruin."3Therefore thus says the Lord the LORD: Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations up against you like the bringing up of the sea to its waves.4And they will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers, and I will sweep her dust from her and make her a bare rock.5You will be a spreading place for nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD, and she will be plunder for the nations.6And its daughters in the field will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.7For thus says the Lord GOD: Here I am bringing to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel from the north, king of kings, with horse and with chariot and with horsemen and assembly and many people.8He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword, and he will give a rampart against you, and he will pour out a siege mound against you, and he will raise a shield against you.9And he will place his battering rams against your walls, and he will overthrow your towers with his swords.10By the abundance of his horses he will cover you, their dust from the sound of the cavalryman and wheel and chariot—your walls will quake when they come in your gates like the entries of a city from a breached valley.11With the split hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and the pillars of your strength will go down to the land.12And they will plunder your wealth and they will plunder your merchandise. They will tear down your walls, and the houses of your delight they will demolish. And your stones and your timbers and your dust they will place in the midst of water.13And I will cause the multitude of your songs to cease, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard again.14And I will make you a bare rock, a spreading place for nets. You will not be built again, for I the LORD have spoken, says the Lord GOD.15Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre: Will not the islands tremble at the sound of your fall, at the groaning of the wounded, at the slaughter in your midst?16Then all the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones and they will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments; they will wear terrors, they will sit on the earth and tremble every moment and be desolated over you.17And they will lift up a lament over you and say to you: "How you have perished, O inhabitant of the seas, the praised city, which was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who put terror in all her inhabitants!"18Now the islands shudder at the islands of the day of your fall, and the islands that are in the sea are terrified because of you.19For thus says the Lord GOD: When I make you like a destroyed city, like cities that are not inhabited, by raising the deep upon you and covering you with the many waters.20And I will bring you down with those going down to the pit, to the people of eternity, and I will cause you to dwell in the land of the depths like ruins from eternity, those going down to the pit, in order that you not dwell in the land of the living, and I will give glory.21I will bring terrors upon you, and you will be no more. Though you are sought, you will never be found again, declares the Lord GOD.
