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.”

Ezekiel 26 (KJVS)

[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, ()
[2] Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said () against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken () that was the gates of the people: she is turned () unto me: I shall be replenished, () now she is laid waste: ()
[3] therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up () against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. ()
[4] And they shall destroy () the walls of Tyrus, and break down () her towers: I will also scrape () her dust from her, and make () her like the top of a rock.
[5] It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken () it, saith () the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
[6] And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain () by the sword; and they shall know () that I am the Lord.
[7] For thus saith () the Lord God; Behold, I will bring () upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
[8] He shall slay () with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make () a fort against thee, and cast () a mount against thee, and lift up () the buckler against thee.
[9] And he shall set () engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down () thy towers.
[10] By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover () thee: thy walls shall shake () at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter () into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. ()
[11] With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down () all thy streets: he shall slay () thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down () to the ground.
[12] And they shall make a spoil () of thy riches, and make a prey () of thy merchandise: and they shall break down () thy walls, and destroy () thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay () thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
[13] And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; () and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. ()
[14] And I will make () thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built () no more: for I the Lord have spoken () it, saith () the Lord God.
[15] Thus saith () the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake () at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, () when the slaughter is made () in the midst of thee?
[16] Then all the princes of the sea shall come down () from their thrones, and lay away () their robes, and put off () their broidered garments: they shall clothe () themselves with trembling; they shall sit () upon the ground, and shall tremble () at every moment, and be astonished () at thee.
[17] And they shall take up () a lamentation for thee, and say () to thee, How art thou destroyed, () that wast inhabited () of seafaring men, the renowned () city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, () which cause () their terror to be on all that haunt () it!
[18] Now shall the isles tremble () in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled () at thy departure. ()
[19] For thus saith () the Lord God; When I shall make () thee a desolate () city, like the cities that are not inhabited; () when I shall bring up () the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover () thee;
[20] when I shall bring thee down () with them that descend () into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set () thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down () to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; () and I shall set () glory in the land of the living;
[21] I will make () thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, () yet shalt thou never be found () again, saith () the Lord God.
