Prophesy Against Tyre

26 Now it happened in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 Lord Yahweh, ‘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)make the walls of Tyre a ruin and pull down her towers; and I will scrape her dust 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 Lord Yahweh, ‘and she will become ^(G)plunder for the nations. ⁶ Also her ^(H)daughters who are ^[b]on the mainland will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

⁷ For thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^(I)king of kings, with horses, ^(J)chariots, horsemen, and an assembly, a great number of people. ⁸ He will kill your daughters ^[c]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 swords he will tear down your towers. ¹⁰ Because of the abundance of his ^(M)horses, the fine dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will ^(N)shake at the noise of horsemen and ^[d]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 kill 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 wealth and a plunder of your ^(R)merchandise, and ^(S)pull down your walls and tear down your ^(T)desirable houses, and ^[e]throw your stones and your timbers and your debris ^(U)into the water. ¹³ So I will cause the tumult of your ^(V)songs to cease, 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 ^(Y)Yahweh have spoken,” declares Lord Yahweh.
