26Ezekiel 26

1And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came to me, saying,Select Ezekiel 26:1

2Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned to me: I shall be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:Select Ezekiel 26:2

3Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up.Select Ezekiel 26:3

4And 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.Select Ezekiel 26:4

5It 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 it shall become a spoil to the nations.Select Ezekiel 26:5

6And her daughters who [are] in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.Select Ezekiel 26:6

7For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.Select Ezekiel 26:7

8He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.Select Ezekiel 26:8

9And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.Select Ezekiel 26:9

10By 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, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.Select Ezekiel 26:10

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 go down to the ground.Select Ezekiel 26:11

12And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.Select Ezekiel 26:12

13And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.Select Ezekiel 26:13

14And 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 I the LORD have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.Select Ezekiel 26:14

15Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyre; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?Select Ezekiel 26:15

16Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.Select Ezekiel 26:16

17And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited by sea-faring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!Select Ezekiel 26:17

18Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yes, the isles that [are] in the sea shall be disturbed at thy departure.Select Ezekiel 26:18

19For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;Select Ezekiel 26:19

20When I 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;Select Ezekiel 26:20

21I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no [more]: though thou shalt be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.Select Ezekiel 26:21
