1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, because Tyrus has said against Jerusalem, Aha (we are glad), she is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned to me: I will be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:
3 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes his waves to come up.
4 And they will 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 will be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord GOD: and it will become a spoil to the nations.
6 And her daughters which [are] in the field will be slain by the sword; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
7 For thus says 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 will slay with the sword your daughters in the field: and he will make a fort against you, and cast a mount against you, and lift up the buckler against you.
9 And he will set engines of war 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, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he will enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.
11 With the hoofs of his horses will he tread down all your streets: he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong garrisons will go down to the ground.
12 And they will make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise: and they will break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses: and they will lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the water.
13 And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps will be no more heard.
14 And I will make you like the top of a rock: you will be [a place] to spread nets upon; you will be built no more: for I the LORD [Yahweh] have spoken [it], says the Lord GOD.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Will not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
16 Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their embroidered garments: they will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit upon the ground, and will tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at you.
17 And they will take up a lamentation for you, and say to you, How are you destroyed, [that were] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which were strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
18 Now will the isles tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the isles that [are] in the sea will be troubled at your departure.
19 For thus says the Lord GOD; When I will make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I will bring up the deep upon you, and great waters will cover you;
20 When I will bring you down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and will set you in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that 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 be] no [more]: though you be sought for, yet will you never be found again, says the Lord GOD.
