King James Version

¹⁰Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:

¹¹Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

¹²And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

¹³Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

¹⁴Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

¹⁵As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

You said, “They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour.^(D)” ¹³You boasted^(E) against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.^(F) ¹⁴This is what the Sovereign Lord says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.^(G) ¹⁵Because you rejoiced^(H) when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir,^(I) you and all of Edom.^(J) Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 26:2-21

King James Version

²Son 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:

³Therefore 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.

⁴And 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.

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.

⁶And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷For 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.

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.

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

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 wherein is made a breach.

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.

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.

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

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.

¹⁵Thus 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?

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.

¹⁷And 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!

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

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;

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;

²¹I 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.

Ezekiel 26:2-21

New International Version

²“Son of man, because Tyre^(A) has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha!^(B) The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’ ³therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea^(C) casting up its waves. ⁴They will destroy^(D) the walls of Tyre^(E) and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. ⁵Out in the sea^(F) she will become a place to spread fishnets,^(G) for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder^(H) for the nations,^(I) ⁶and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

⁷“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar^[a]^(J) king of Babylon, king of kings,^(K) with horses and chariots,^(L) with horsemen and a great army. ⁸He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works^(M) against you, build a ramp^(N) up to your walls and raise his shields against you. ⁹He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.^(O) ¹⁰His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots^(P) when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. ¹¹The hooves^(Q) of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars^(R) will fall to the ground.^(S) ¹²They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.^(T) ¹³I will put an end^(U) to your noisy songs,^(V) and the music of your harps^(W) will be heard no more.^(X) ¹⁴I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt,^(Y) for I the Lord have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.

¹⁵“This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands^(Z) tremble^(AA) at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan^(AB) and the slaughter takes place in you? ¹⁶Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered^(AC) garments. Clothed^(AD) with terror, they will sit on the ground,^(AE) trembling^(AF) every moment, appalled^(AG) at you. ¹⁷Then they will take up a lament^(AH) concerning you and say to you:

“‘How you are destroyed, city of renown,
    peopled by men of the sea!
You were a power on the seas,
    you and your citizens;
you put your terror
    on all who lived there.^(AI)
¹⁸Now the coastlands tremble^(AJ)
    on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
    are terrified at your collapse.’^(AK)

¹⁹“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths^(AL) over you and its vast waters cover you,^(AM) ²⁰then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit,^(AN) to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place^[b] in the land of the living.^(AO) ²¹I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more.^(AP) You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”^(AQ)
