1. In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 in the eleventh H6249 H6240 year H8141 , in the first H259 day of the month H2320 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Son of man, because Tyre has said about Jerusalem, 'Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I will become rich, now that she has been destroyed,'
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , because that H3282 H834 Tyrus H6865 hath said H559 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 , Aha H1889 , she is broken H7665 that was the gates H1817 of the people H5971 : she is turned H5437 unto H413 me : I shall be replenished H4390 , now she is laid waste H2717 :
|
|
3. therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am against you, O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
|
3. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 thee , O Tyrus H6865 , and will cause many H7227 nations H1471 to come up H5927 against H5921 thee , as the sea H3220 causeth his waves H1530 to come up H5927 .
|
|
4. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.
|
4. And they shall destroy H7843 the walls H2346 of Tyrus H6865 , and break down H2040 her towers H4026 : I will also scrape H5500 her dust H6083 from H4480 her , and make H5414 her like the top H6706 of a rock H5553 .
|
|
5. She will be a place where fishing nets are spread, surrounded by the sea. For I have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD. She will become plunder for the nations,
|
5. It shall be H1961 a place for the spreading H4894 of nets H2764 in the midst H8432 of the sea H3220 : for H3588 I H589 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 : and it shall become H1961 a spoil H957 to the nations H1471 .
|
|
6. and her daughters who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
|
6. And her daughters H1323 which H834 are in the field H7704 shall be slain H2026 by the sword H2719 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. "For this is what the sovereign LORD says: Take note that I am about to bring King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people.
|
7. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 upon H413 Tyrus H6865 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 , a king H4428 of kings H4428 , from the north H4480 H6828 , with horses H5483 , and with chariots H7393 , and with horsemen H6571 , and companies H6951 , and much H7227 people H5971 .
|
|
8. He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you.
|
8. He shall slay H2026 with the sword H2719 thy daughters H1323 in the field H7704 : and he shall make H5414 a fort H1785 against H5921 thee , and cast H8210 a mount H5550 against H5921 thee , and lift up H6965 the buckler H6793 against H5921 thee.
|
|
9. He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons.
|
9. And he shall set H5414 engines H4239 of war H6904 against thy walls H2346 , and with his axes H2719 he shall break down H5422 thy towers H4026 .
|
|
10. He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses. Your walls will shake from the noise of the horsemen, wheels, and chariots when he enters your gates like those who invade through a city's broken walls.
|
10. By reason of the abundance H4480 H8229 of his horses H5483 their dust H80 shall cover H3680 thee : thy walls H2346 shall shake H7493 at the noise H4480 H6963 of the horsemen H6571 , and of the wheels H1534 , and of the chariots H7393 , when he shall enter H935 into thy gates H8179 , as men enter into H3996 a city H5892 wherein is made a breach H1234 .
|
|
11. With his horses' hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will tumble down to the ground.
|
11. With the hooves H6541 of his horses H5483 shall he tread down H7429 H853 all H3605 thy streets H2351 : he shall slay H2026 thy people H5971 by the sword H2719 , and thy strong H5797 garrisons H4676 shall go down H3381 to the ground H776 .
|
|
12. They will steal your wealth and loot your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. Your stones, your trees, and your soil he will throw into the water.
|
12. And they shall make a spoil H7997 of thy riches H2428 , and make a prey H962 of thy merchandise H7404 : and they shall break down H2040 thy walls H2346 , and destroy H5422 thy pleasant H2532 houses H1004 : and they shall lay H7760 thy stones H68 and thy timber H6086 and thy dust H6083 in the midst H8432 of the water H4325 .
|
|
13. I will silence the noise of your songs; the sound of your harps will be heard no more.
|
13. And I will cause the noise H1995 of thy songs H7892 to cease H7673 ; and the sound H6963 of thy harps H3658 shall be no H3808 more H5750 heard H8085 .
|
|
14. I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place where fishing nets are spread. You will never be built again, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD.
|
14. And I will make H5414 thee like the top H6706 of a rock H5553 : thou shalt be H1961 a place to spread nets upon H4894 H2764 ; thou shalt be built H1129 no H3808 more H5750 : for H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
15. "This is what the sovereign LORD says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst!
|
15. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 to Tyrus H6865 ; Shall not H3808 the isles H339 shake H7493 at the sound H4480 H6963 of thy fall H4658 , when the wounded H2491 cry H602 , when the slaughter H2027 is made H2026 in the midst H8432 of thee?
|
|
16. All the princes of the sea will vacate their thrones. They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground; they will tremble continually and be shocked at what has happened to you.
|
16. Then all H3605 the princes H5387 of the sea H3220 shall come down H3381 from H4480 H5921 their thrones H3678 , and lay away H5493 H853 their robes H4598 , and put off H6584 their embroidered H7553 garments H899 : they shall clothe H3847 themselves with trembling H2731 ; they shall sit H3427 upon H5921 the ground H776 , and shall tremble H2729 at every moment H7281 , and be astonished H8074 at H5921 thee.
|
|
17. They will sing this lament over you: "'How you have perished� you have vanished from the seas, O renowned city, once mighty in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror!
|
17. And they shall take up H5375 a lamentation H7015 for H5921 thee , and say H559 to thee, How H349 art thou destroyed H6 , that wast inhabited H3427 of seafaring men H4480 H3220 , the renowned H1984 city H5892 , which H834 wast H1961 strong H2389 in the sea H3220 , she H1931 and her inhabitants H3427 , which H834 cause H5414 their terror H2851 to be on all H3605 that haunt H3427 it!
|
|
18. Now the coastlands will tremble on the day of your fall; the coastlands by the sea will be terrified by your passing.'
|
18. Now H6258 shall the isles H339 tremble H2729 in the day H3117 of thy fall H4658 ; yea , the isles H339 that H834 are in the sea H3220 shall be troubled H926 at thy departure H4480 H3318 .
|
|
19. "For this is what the sovereign LORD says: When I make you desolate like the uninhabited cities, when I bring up the deep over you and the surging waters overwhelm you,
|
19. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; When I shall make H5414 thee a desolate H2717 city H5892 , like the cities H5892 that H834 are not H3808 inhabited H3427 ; when I shall bring up H5927 H853 the deep H8415 upon H5921 thee , and great H7227 waters H4325 shall cover H3680 thee;
|
|
20. then I will bring you down to bygone people, to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand in the land of the living.
|
20. When I shall bring thee down H3381 with H854 them that descend H3381 into the pit H953 , with H413 the people H5971 of old time H5769 , and shall set H3427 thee in the low parts H8482 of the earth H776 , in places desolate H2723 of old H4480 H5769 , with H854 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 , that H4616 thou be not H3808 inhabited H3427 ; and I shall set H5414 glory H6643 in the land H776 of the living H2416 ;
|
|
21. I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the sovereign LORD."
|
21. I will make H5414 thee a terror H1091 , and thou shalt be no H369 more : though thou be sought for H1245 , yet shalt thou never H3808 H5769 be found H4672 again H5750 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
