Ezekiel 26 (WEBP)

[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.”

[1] 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 (),

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 26 (YLT)

[1] And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, there hath been a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: ‘Son of man,
[2] Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round unto me, I am filled-she hath been laid waste,
[3] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up.
[4] And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a rock.
[5] A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea, For I-I have spoken-an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And she hath been for a spoil to nations.
[6] And her daughters who are in the field, by sword they are slain, And they have known that I am Jehovah,
[7] For, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north-a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.
[8] Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler.
[9] And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons.
[10] From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into a city broken-up.
[11] With hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places, Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy strength to the earth come down.
[12] And they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood, and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place.
[13] And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the voice of thy harps is heard no more.
[14] And I have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any more, For I, Jehovah, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
[15] Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Do not-from the noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake?
[16] And come down from off their thrones have all princes of the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at thee,
[17] And have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
[18] Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that are in the sea, at thine outgoing.
[19] For thus said the Lord Jehovah: In my making thee a city wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great waters.
[20] And I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts-in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.
[21] Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art sought, and art not found any more-to the age, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!’
