Dual Panel1In the eleventh <06240> <06249> year <08141>, on the first <0259> day of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me:
2“Son <01121> of man <0120>, because <03282> Tyre <06865> has said <0559> about <05921> Jerusalem <03389>, ‘Aha <01889>, the gateway <01817> of the peoples <05971> is broken <07665>; it has swung open <05437> to <0413> me. I will become rich <04390>, now that she has been destroyed <02717>,’
3therefore <03651> this is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: Look <02005>, I am against <05921> you, O Tyre <06865>! I will bring up <05927> many <07227> nations <01471> against <05921> you, as the sea <03220> brings up <05927> its waves <01530>.
4They will destroy <07843> the walls <02346> of Tyre <06865> and break down <02040> her towers <04026>. I will scrape <05500> her soil <06083> from <04480> her and make <05414> her a bare <06706> rock <05553>.
5She will be <01961> a place where fishing <04894> nets <02764> are spread <04894>, surrounded <08432> by the sea <03220>. For <03588> I <0589> have spoken <01696>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>. She will become <01961> plunder <0957> for the nations <01471>,
6and her daughters <01323> who <0834> are in the field <07704> will be slaughtered <02026> by the sword <02719>. Then they will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
7“For <03588> this is what <03541> the sovereign Lord <0136> says <0559>: Take note <02005> that I am about <0413> to bring <0935> King <04428> Nebuchadrezzar <05019> of Babylon <0894>, king <04428> of kings <04428>, against Tyre <06865> from the north <06828>, with horses <05483>, chariots <07393>, and horsemen <06571>, an army <07227> and hordes <06951> of people <05971>.
8He will kill <02026> your daughters <01323> in the field <07704> with the sword <02719>. He will build <05414> a siege wall <01785> against <05921> you, erect <08210> a siege ramp <05550> against <05921> you, and raise <06965> a great shield <06793> against <05921> you.
9He will direct <05414> the blows <04239> of his battering rams <06904> against your walls <02346> and tear down <05422> your towers <04026> with his weapons <02719>.
10He will cover <03680> you with the dust <080> kicked up by his many horses <05483> <08229>. Your walls <02346> will shake <07493> from the noise <06963> of the horsemen <06571>, wheels <01534>, and chariots <07393> when he enters <0935> your gates <08179> like those who invade <03996> through a city’s <05892> broken <01234> walls.
11With his horses <05483>’ hoofs <06541> he will trample <07429> all <03605> your streets <02351>. He will kill <02026> your people <05971> with the sword <02719>, and your strong <05797> pillars <04676> will tumble down <03381> to the ground <0776>.
12They will steal <07997> your wealth <02428> and loot <0962> your merchandise <07404>. They will tear down <02040> your walls <02346> and destroy <05422> your luxurious <02532> homes <01004>. Your stones <068>, your trees <06086>, and your soil <06083> he will throw <07760> into <08432> the water <04325>.
13I will silence <07673> the noise <01995> of your songs <07892>; the sound <06963> of your harps <03658> will be heard <08085> no <03808> more <05750>.
14I will make <05414> you a bare <06706> rock <05553>; you will be <01961> a place where fishing <04894> nets <02764> are spread <04894>. You will never <03808> be built <01129> again <05750>, for <03588> I <0589>, the Lord <03069>, have spoken <01696>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03068>.
15“This is what the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559> to Tyre <06865>: Oh, how the coastlands <0339> will shake <07493> at the sound <06963> of your fall <04658>, when the wounded <02491> groan <0602>, at the massive <02027> slaughter <02026> in your midst <08432>!
16All <03605> the princes <05387> of the sea <03220> will vacate <03381> their thrones <03678>. They will remove <05493> their robes <04598> and strip off <06584> their embroidered <07553> clothes <0899>; they will clothe <03847> themselves with trembling <02731>. They will sit <03427> on <05921> the ground <0776>; they will tremble <02729> continually <07281> and be shocked <08074> at <05921> what has happened to you.
17They will sing this lament <07015> over <05921> you: “‘How <0349> you have perished <06>– you have <01961> vanished <03427> from the seas <03220>, O renowned <01984> city <05892>, once mighty <02389> in the sea <03220>, she <01931> and her <01931> inhabitants <03427>, who spread <05414> their terror <02851>!
18Now <06258> the coastlands <0339> will tremble <02729> on the day <03117> of your fall <04658>; the coastlands <0339> by the sea <03220> will be terrified <0926> by your passing <03318>.’
19“For <03588> this is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: When I make <05414> you desolate <02717> like the uninhabited <03427> <03808> cities <05892>, when <0834> I bring up <05927> the deep <08415> over <05921> you and the surging <07227> waters <04325> overwhelm <03680> you,
20then I will bring <03381> you down <03381> to bygone <05769> people <05971>, to <0413> be with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>. I will make you live <03427> in the lower parts <08482> of the earth <0776>, among the primeval <05769> ruins <02723>, with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>, so <04616> that you will not <03808> be inhabited <03427> or stand <05414> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.
21I will bring <05414> terrors <01091> on you, and you will be no <0369> more! Though you are sought <01245> after, you will never <05769> <03808> be found <04672> again <05750>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>.”
