Ezekiel 26

26^*And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ²Son of man, ^abecause that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, ^bAha, 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 ^cmany nations to come up against thee, ^das 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 ^emake her like ^fthe top of a rock. ⁵It shall be a place for ^gthe spreading of nets ^hin the midst of the sea: ⁱfor I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become ^ka spoil to the nations. ⁶And ^lher daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; ^mand they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷For thus saith the Lord God; ^mmBehold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, ⁿa king of kings, ^ofrom the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. ⁸He shall slay with the sword ^lthy daughters in the field: and ^phe shall make a fort against thee, and ^||pqcast a mount against thee, and ^rlift 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 ^sthe 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 ^ttmake a spoil of thy riches, and ^ttmake a prey of thy ^umerchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy ^†thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and ^uuthy dust in the midst of the water. ¹³And ^vI will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of ^wthy harps shall be no more heard. ¹⁴And ^eI will make thee like the top of a rock: ^gthou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for ⁱI the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles ^xshake at the sound of thy fall, when ^ythe wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? ¹⁶Then all ^zthe princes of the sea ^ashall come down from their thrones, and ^alay away their robes, and put off their ^bbroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with ^†trembling; ^abbthey shall sit upon the ground, and ^cshall tremble ^dat every moment, and ^ebe astonished at thee. ¹⁷And ^fthey shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited ^†of seafaring men, the renowned city, ^gwhich wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, ^hwhich cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! ¹⁸Now ⁱshall the isles tremble ^jin 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; ^jjwhen I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; ²⁰When ^kI shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, ^kkwith the people of old time, and shall set thee ^kin the low parts of the earth, in places ^ldesolate of old, ^kwith them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory ^min the land of the living; ²¹ⁿI will make thee ^†a terror, ⁿand thou shalt be no more: ^othough thou be sought for, yet shalt thou ^opnever be found again, saith the Lord God.
