Ezekiel 26:1-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
Judgment on Tyre
26 Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, because (A)Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the (B)gateway of the peoples is broken; it has [a](C)opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’ 3 therefore thus says the Lord [b]God, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up (D)many nations against you, as the (E)sea brings up its waves. 4 They will (F)destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock. 5 She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord God, ‘and she will become (G)spoil for the nations. 6 Also her (H)daughters who are [c]on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
7 For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, (I)king of kings, with horses, (J)chariots, cavalry and [d]a great army. 8 He will slay your daughters [e]on the mainland with the sword; and he will make (K)siege walls against you, cast up a (L)ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you. 9 The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his [f]axes he will break down your towers. 10 Because of the multitude of his (M)horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will (N)shake at the noise of cavalry and [g]wagons and chariots when he (O)enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. 11 With the hoofs of his (P)horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will (Q)come down to the ground. 12 Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your (R)merchandise, (S)break down your walls and destroy your (T)pleasant houses, and [h]throw your stones and your timbers and your debris (U)into the water. 13 So I will [i]silence the sound of your (V)songs, and the sound of your (W)harps will be heard no more. 14 I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be (X)built no more, for I the (Y)Lord have spoken,” declares the Lord God.
