⁴ Then ^(A)he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was ^(B)dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.

¹⁸ “Son of man, ^(A)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre; every head was made ^(B)bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it.

⁷ “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north ^(A)Nebuchadnezzar^[a] king of Babylon, ^(B)king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people. ⁸ He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will ^(C)heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a ^[b]defense against you. ⁹ He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. ¹⁰ Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. ¹¹ With the hooves of his ^(D)horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground. ¹² They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the ^(E)midst of the water. ^13 (F)I will put an end to the sound of ^(G)your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. ^14 (H)I will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God.

¹⁵ “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not ^(I)shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you? ¹⁶ Then all the ^(J)princes of the sea will ^(K)come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; ^(L)they will sit on the ground, ^(M)tremble every moment, and ^(N)be astonished at you. ¹⁷ And they will take up a ^(O)lamentation for you, and say to you:

¹⁹ “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you, ²⁰ then I will bring you down ^(R)with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory ^(S)in the land of the living. ^21 (T)I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; ^(U)though you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord God.”
