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,’ 3 therefore 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. 4 They 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. 5 Out 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) 6 and 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. 8 He 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. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.(O) 10 His 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. 11 The 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) 12 They 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) 13 I will put an end(U) to your noisy songs,(V) and the music of your harps(W) will be heard no more.(X) 14 I 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? 16 Then 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. 17 Then 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)
18 Now 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) 20 then 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) 21 I 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)

They will set up their camps(E) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(F) 5 I will turn Rabbah(G) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(H) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(I) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(J) 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand(K) against you and give you as plunder(L) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy(M) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(N)’”

33 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“The people of Israel are oppressed,(A)
and the people of Judah as well.
All their captors hold them fast,
refusing to let them go.(B)
34 Yet their Redeemer(C) is strong;
the Lord Almighty(D) is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause(E)
so that he may bring rest(F) to their land,
but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
35 “A sword(G) against the Babylonians!”(H)
declares the Lord—
“against those who live in Babylon
and against her officials and wise(I) men!
36 A sword against her false prophets!
They will become fools.
A sword against her warriors!(J)
They will be filled with terror.(K)
37 A sword against her horses and chariots(L)
and all the foreigners in her ranks!
They will become weaklings.(M)
A sword against her treasures!(N)
They will be plundered.

They will dry(P) up.
For it is a land of idols,(Q)
idols that will go mad with terror.

along with their neighboring towns,”
declares the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell in it.(U)
