¹ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

² Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

³ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.

⁴ And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 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, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.

⁶ And her 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; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.

⁸ He 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.

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

¹⁰ By 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 wherein is made a breach.

¹¹ With 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.

¹² And 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.

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

¹⁴ And 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.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; 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?

¹⁶ Then 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.

¹⁷ And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!

¹⁸ Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

¹⁹ For 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;

²⁰ When 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;

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

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

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

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

⁴ And they shall destroy ^H7843 the walls ^H2346 of Tyrus, ^H6865 and break down ^H2040 her towers: ^H4026 I will also scrape ^H5500 her dust ^H6083 from her, and make ^H5414 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 it, saith ^H5002 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 by the sword; ^H2719 and they shall know ^H3045 that I am the LORD. ^H3068

⁷ For thus saith ^H559 the Lord ^H136 GOD; ^H3069 Behold, I will bring ^H935 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 with the sword ^H2719 thy daughters ^H1323 in the field: ^H7704 and he shall make ^H5414 a fort ^H1785 against thee, and cast ^H8210 a mount ^H5550 against thee, and lift up ^H6965 the buckler ^H6793 against thee.

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

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

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

¹² And they shall make a spoil ^H7997 of thy riches, ^H2428 and make a prey ^H962 of thy merchandise: ^H7404 and they shall break down ^H2040 thy walls, ^H2346 and destroy ^H5422 thy pleasant ^H2532 houses: ^H1004 and they shall lay ^H7760 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 and the sound ^H6963 of thy harps ^H3658 shall be no more heard. ^H8085

¹⁴ And I will make ^H5414 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 no more: for I the LORD ^H3068 have spoken ^H1696 it, saith ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD. ^H3069

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

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

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

¹⁸ Now shall the isles ^H339 tremble ^H2729 in the day ^H3117 of thy fall; ^H4658 yea, the isles ^H339 that are in the sea ^H3220 shall be troubled ^H926 at thy departure. ^H3318

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

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

²¹ I will make ^H5414 thee a terror, ^H1091 and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, ^H1245 yet shalt thou never ^H5769 be found ^H4672 again, saith ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD. ^H3069

¹ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first `day' of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

² Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken `that was' the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:

³ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, 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.

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 a bare rock.

⁵ She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.

⁶ And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

⁷ For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people.

⁸ He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee.

⁹ And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

¹⁰ By 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 wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people with the sword; and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

¹² And 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 waters.

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

¹⁴ And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shalt be a place for the spreading of nets; thou shalt be built no more: for I Jehovah have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

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

¹⁷ And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, that caused their terror to be on all that dwelt there!

¹⁸ Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure.

¹⁹ For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: 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 the great waters shall cover thee;

²⁰ then will I bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living:

²¹ I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt no more have any being; though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹ And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, there hath been a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: `Son of man,

² Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round unto me, I am filled -- she hath been laid waste,

³ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I `am' against thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up.

⁴ And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a rock.

⁵ A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea, For I -- I have spoken -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And she hath been for a spoil to nations.

⁶ And her daughters who `are' in the field, by sword they are slain, And they have known that I `am' Jehovah,

⁷ For, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north -- a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.

⁸ Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler.

⁹ And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons.

¹⁰ From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into a city broken-up.

¹¹ With hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places, Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy strength to the earth come down.

¹² And they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood, and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place.

¹³ And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the voice of thy harps is heard no more.

¹⁴ And I have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any more, For I, Jehovah, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Do not -- from the noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake?

¹⁶ And come down from off their thrones have all princes of the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at thee,

¹⁷ And have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!

¹⁸ Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that `are' in the sea, at thine outgoing.

¹⁹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: In my making thee a city wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great waters.

²⁰ And I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts -- in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.

²¹ Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art sought, and art not found any more -- to the age, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

⁸ He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field, and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and lift up the target against thee;

⁹ and he shall set his engines of attack against thy walls, and with his spikes he shall break down thy towers.

¹⁰ By 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 through thy gates, as a city is entered into, wherein is made a breach.

¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people by the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

¹² And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy wares; 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 waters.

¹ Now in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

² Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;

³ For this cause the Lord has said, See, I am against you, O Tyre, and will send up a number of nations against you as the sea sends up its waves.

⁴ And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock

⁵ She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.

⁶ And her daughters in the open country will be put to the sword: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

⁷ For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will send up from the north Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and war-carriages and with an army and great numbers of people.

⁸ He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.

⁹ He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.

¹⁰ Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.

¹¹ Your streets will be stamped down by the feet of his horses: he will put your people to the sword, and will send down the pillars of your strength to the earth.

¹² They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.

¹³ I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.

¹⁴ I will make you an uncovered rock: you will be a place for the stretching out of nets; there will be no building you up again: for I the Lord have said it, says the Lord.

¹⁵ This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?

¹⁶ Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.

¹⁷ And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

¹⁸ Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.

¹⁹ For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.

²⁰ Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.

²¹ I will make you a thing of fear, and you will come to an end: even if you are looked for, you will not be seen again for ever, says the Lord.
