NASB Bible

Ezekiel 26

Judgment on Tyre

1

Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"Son of man, because  aTyre has said concerning Jerusalem, `Aha, the  bgateway of the peoples is broken; it has  1 copened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,'

3

therefore thus says the Lord  1GOD, `Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up  amany nations against you, as the  bsea brings up its waves.

4

`They will  adestroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris 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 the Lord GOD, `and she will become  aspoil for the nations.

6

`Also her  adaughters who are  1on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.' "

7

For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,  aking of kings, with horses,  bchariots, cavalry and  1a great army.

8

"He will slay your daughters  1on the mainland with the sword; and he will make  asiege walls against you, cast up a  bramp 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  1axes he will break down your towers.

10

"Because of the multitude of his  ahorses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will  bshake at the noise of cavalry and  1wagons and chariots when he  centers your gates as men enter a city that is breached.

11

"With the hoofs of his  ahorses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will  bcome down to the ground.

12

"Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your  amerchandise,  bbreak down your walls and destroy your  cpleasant houses, and  1throw your stones and your timbers and your debris  dinto the water.

13

"So I will  1silence the sound of your  asongs, and the sound of your  bharps 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  abuilt no more, for I the  bLORD have spoken," declares the Lord GOD.

15

Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre, "Shall not the  acoastlands  bshake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter occurs in your midst?

16

"Then all the princes of the sea will  ago down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will  bclothe themselves with  1trembling; they will sit on the ground,  ctremble every moment and be appalled at you.

17

"They will take up a  alamentation over you and say to you, ` bHow you have perished, O inhabited one, From the seas, O renowned city, Which was  cmighty on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who  1imposed  2her terror On all her inhabitants!

18

`Now the  acoastlands will tremble On the day of your fall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be terrified at your  bpassing.' "

19

For thus says the Lord GOD, "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I  abring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,

20

then I will bring you down with those who  ago down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the  blower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not  1be inhabited; but I will set  cglory in the land of the living.

21

"I will  1bring  aterrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought,  byou will never be found again," declares the Lord GOD.
