Ezekiel 26 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Judgment on Tyre

Eze 26:1Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,
Eze 26:2“Son of man, because Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has [fn]opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’
Eze 26:3therefore thus says the Lord [fn]GOD, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
Eze 26:4‘They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock.
Eze 26:5‘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 spoil for the nations.
Eze 26:6‘Also her daughters who are [fn]on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Eze 26:7For thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, chariots, cavalry and [fn]a great army.
Eze 26:8“He will slay your daughters [fn]on the mainland with the sword; and he will make siege walls against you, cast up a ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you.
Eze 26:9“The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his [fn]axes he will break down your towers.
Eze 26:10“Because of the multitude of his horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of cavalry and [fn]wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.
Eze 26:11“With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will come down to the ground.
Eze 26:12“Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your merchandise, break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses, and [fn]throw your stones and your timbers and your debris into the water.
Eze 26:13“So I will [fn]silence the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more.
Eze 26:14“I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more, for I the LORD have spoken,” declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 26:15Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre, “Shall not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter occurs in your midst?
Eze 26:16“Then all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with [fn]trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble every moment and be appalled at you.
Eze 26:17“They will take up a lamentation over you and say to you,
‘How you have perished, O inhabited one,
From the seas, O renowned city,
Which was mighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who [fn]imposed [fn]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
Eze 26:18‘Now the coastlands will tremble
On the day of your fall;
Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
Will be terrified at your passing.’”
Eze 26:19For thus says the Lord GOD, “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,
Eze 26:20then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not [fn]be inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the living.
Eze 26:21“I will [fn]bring terrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, you will never be found again,” declares the Lord GOD.
