[1] In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’ [3] therefore the Lord Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. [4] They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock. [5] She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh. ‘She will become plunder for the nations. [6] Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’ [7] “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people. [8] He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you. [9] He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. [10] By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open. [11] He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground. [12] They will make a plunder of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters. [13] I will cause the noise of your songs to cease. The sound of your harps won’t be heard any more. [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 Yahweh have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh. [15] “The Lord Yahweh says to Tyre: ‘Won’t the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you? [16] Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you. [17] They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you,
“How you are destroyed,
who were inhabited by seafaring men,
the renowned city,
who was strong in the sea,
she and her inhabitants,
who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
[18] Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall.
Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’ [19] “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you, [20] then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living. [21] I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
“How you are destroyed,
who were inhabited by seafaring men,
the renowned city,
who was strong in the sea,
she and her inhabitants,
who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
[18] Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall.
Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’ [19] “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you, [20] then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living. [21] I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
King James Version
[1] And it came to pass in the eleventh H6249 year, H8141 in the first H259 day of the month, H2320 that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 because that Tyrus H6865 hath said H559 (QalPerf) against Jerusalem, H3389 Aha, H1889 she is broken H7665 (NiphPerf) that was the gates H1817 of the people: H5971 she is turned H5437 (NiphPerf) unto me: I shall be replenished, H4390 (NiphImpf) now she is laid waste: H2717 (HophPerf) [3] therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, H6865 and will cause many H7227 nations H1471 to come up H5927 (HiphPerf) against thee, as the sea H3220 causeth his waves H1530 to come up. H5927 (HiphInf) [4] And they shall destroy H7843 (PielPerf) the walls H2346 of Tyrus, H6865 and break down H2040 (QalPerf) her towers: H4026 I will also scrape H5500 (PielPerf) her dust H6083 from her, and make H5414 (QalPerf) her like the top H6706 of a rock. H5553 [5] It shall be a place for the spreading H4894 of nets H2764 in the midst H8432 of the sea: H3220 for I have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God: H3069 and it shall become a spoil H957 to the nations. H1471 [6] And her daughters H1323 which are in the field H7704 shall be slain H2026 (NiphImpf) by the sword; H2719 and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [7] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) upon Tyrus H6865 Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 a king H4428 of kings, H4428 from the north, H6828 with horses, H5483 and with chariots, H7393 and with horsemen, H6571 and companies, H6951 and much H7227 people. H5971 [8] He shall slay H2026 (QalImpf) with the sword H2719 thy daughters H1323 in the field: H7704 and he shall make H5414 (QalPerf) a fort H1785 against thee, and cast H8210 (QalPerf) a mount H5550 against thee,§ and lift up H6965 (HiphPerf) the buckler H6793 against thee. [9] And he shall set H5414 (QalImpf) engines H4239 of war H6904 against thy walls, H2346 and with his axes H2719 he shall break down H5422 (QalImpf) thy towers. H4026 [10] By reason of the abundance H8229 of his horses H5483 their dust H80 shall cover H3680 (PielImpf) thee: thy walls H2346 shall shake H7493 (QalImpf) at the noise H6963 of the horsemen, H6571 and of the wheels, H1534 and of the chariots, H7393 when he shall enter H935 (QalInf) into thy gates, H8179 as men enter H3996 into a city H5892 wherein is made a breach. H1234 (PualPtc)§ [11] With the hoofs H6541 of his horses H5483 shall he tread down H7429 (QalImpf) all thy streets: H2351 he shall slay H2026 (QalImpf) thy people H5971 by the sword, H2719 and thy strong H5797 garrisons H4676 shall go down H3381 (QalImpf) to the ground. H776 [12] And they shall make a spoil H7997 (QalPerf) of thy riches, H2428 and make a prey H962 (QalPerf) of thy merchandise: H7404 and they shall break down H2040 (QalPerf) thy walls, H2346 and destroy H5422 (QalImpf) thy pleasant H2532 houses: H1004§ and they shall lay H7760 (QalImpf) thy stones H68 and thy timber H6086 and thy dust H6083 in the midst H8432 of the water. H4325 [13] And I will cause the noise H1995 of thy songs H7892 to cease; H7673 (HiphPerf) and the sound H6963 of thy harps H3658 shall be no more heard. H8085 (NiphImpf) [14] And I will make H5414 (QalPerf) thee like the top H6706 of a rock: H5553 thou shalt be a place to spread H4894 nets H2764 upon; H4894 thou shalt be built H1129 (NiphImpf) no more: for I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [15] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 to Tyrus; H6865 Shall not the isles H339 shake H7493 (QalImpf) at the sound H6963 of thy fall, H4658 when the wounded H2491 cry, H602 (QalInf) when the slaughter H2027 is made H2026 (NiphInf) in the midst H8432 of thee? [16] Then all the princes H5387 of the sea H3220 shall come down H3381 (QalPerf) from their thrones, H3678 and lay away H5493 (HiphPerf) their robes, H4598 and put off H6584 (QalImpf) their broidered H7553 garments: H899 they shall clothe H3847 (QalImpf) themselves with trembling; H2731§ they shall sit H3427 (QalImpf) upon the ground, H776 and shall tremble H2729 (QalPerf) at every moment, H7281 and be astonished H8074 (QalPerf) at thee. [17] And they shall take up H5375 (QalPerf) a lamentation H7015 for thee, and say H559 (QalPerf) to thee, How art thou destroyed, H6 (QalPerf) that wast inhabited H3427 (NiphPtc) of seafaring§ men, H3220 the renowned H1984 (PualPtc) city, H5892 which wast strong H2389 in the sea, H3220 she and her inhabitants, H3427 (QalActPtc) which cause H5414 (QalPerf) their terror H2851 to be on all that haunt H3427 (QalActPtc) it! [18] Now shall the isles H339 tremble H2729 (QalImpf) in the day H3117 of thy fall; H4658 yea, the isles H339 that are in the sea H3220 shall be troubled H926 (NiphPerf) at thy departure. H3318 (QalInf) [19] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 When I shall make H5414 (QalInf) thee a desolate H2717 (NiphPtc) city, H5892 like the cities H5892 that are not inhabited; H3427 (NiphPerf) when I shall bring up H5927 (HiphInf) the deep H8415 upon thee, and great H7227 waters H4325 shall cover H3680 (PielPerf) thee; [20] when I shall bring thee down H3381 (HiphPerf) with them that descend H3381 (QalActPtc) into the pit, H953 with the people H5971 of old time, H5769 and shall set H3427 (HiphPerf) thee in the low parts H8482 of the earth, H776 in places desolate H2723 of old, H5769 with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) to the pit, H953 that thou be not inhabited; H3427 (QalImpf) and I shall set H5414 (QalPerf) glory H6643 in the land H776 of the living; H2416 [21] I will make H5414 (QalImpf) thee a terror, H1091§ and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, H1245 (PualImpf) yet shalt thou never H5769 be found H4672 (NiphImpf) again, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069
