ASV_Strong : Ezekiel 26
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 Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
2. Son[H1121] of man[H120], because that Tyre[H6865] hath said[H559] against Jerusalem[H3389], Aha[H1889], she is broken[H7665] that was the gate[H1817] of the peoples[H5971]; she is turned[H5437] unto me[H4390]; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste[H2717]:
3. therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069], Behold[H6865], I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many[H7227] nations[H1471] to come up[H5927] against thee[H3220], as the sea causeth its waves[H1530] to come up[H5927].
4. And they shall destroy[H7843] the walls[H2346] of Tyre[H6865], and break down[H2040] her towers[H4026]: I will also scrape[H5500] her dust[H6083] from her[H5414], and make her a bare[H6706] rock[H5553].
5. She shall be a place for the spreading[H4894] of nets[H2764] in the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220]; for I have spoken[H1696] it[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]; and she shall become a spoil[H957] to the nations[H1471].
6. And her daughters[H1323] that are in the field[H7704] shall be slain[H2026] with the sword[H2719]: and they shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068].
7. For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Behold[H935], I will bring upon Tyre[H6865] Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], king[H4428] of kings[H4428], from the north[H6828], with horses[H5483], and with chariots[H7393], and with horsemen[H6571], and a company[H6951], and much[H7227] people[H5971].
8. He shall slay[H2026] with the sword[H2719] thy daughters[H1323] in the field[H7704]; and he shall make[H5414] forts[H1785] against thee[H8210], and cast up a mound[H5550] against thee[H6965], and raise up the buckler against thee[H6793].
9. And he shall set[H5414] his battering[H6904] engines[H4239] against thy walls[H2346], and with his axes[H2719] he shall break down[H5422] thy towers[H4026].
10. By reason of the abundance[H8229] of his horses[H5483] their dust[H80] shall cover[H3680] thee[H2346]: thy walls shall shake[H7493] at the noise[H6963] of the horsemen[H6571], and of the wagons[H1534], and of the chariots[H7393], when he shall enter[H935] into thy gates[H8179], as men enter[H3996] into a city[H5892] wherein is made a breach[H1234].
11. With the hoofs[H6541] of his horses[H5483] shall he tread down[H7429] all thy streets[H2351]; he shall slay[H2026] thy people[H5971] with the sword[H2719]; and the pillars[H4676] of thy strength[H5797] shall go down[H3381] to the ground[H776].
12. And they shall make a spoil[H7997] of thy riches[H2428], and make a prey[H962] of thy merchandise[H7404]; and they shall break down[H2040] thy walls[H2346], and destroy[H5422] thy pleasant[H2532] houses[H1004]; and they shall lay[H7760] thy stones[H68] and thy timber[H6086] and thy dust[H6083] in the midst[H8432] of the waters[H4325].
13. And I will cause the noise[H1995] of thy songs[H7892] to cease[H7673]; and the sound[H6963] of thy harps[H3658] shall be no more heard[H8085].
14. And I will make[H5414] thee a bare[H6706] rock[H5553]; thou shalt be a place[H4894] for the spreading[H4894] of nets[H2764]; thou shalt be built[H1129] no more[H3068]: for I Jehovah have spoken[H1696] it[H5002], saith the Lord[H3068] Jehovah[H136].
15. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069] to Tyre[H6865]: shall not the isles[H339] shake[H7493] at the sound[H6963] of thy fall[H4658], when the wounded[H2491] groan[H602], when the slaughter[H2027] is made[H2026] in the midst of thee[H8432]?
16. Then all the princes[H5387] of the sea[H3220] shall come down[H3381] from their thrones[H3678], and lay aside[H5493] their robes[H4598], and strip off[H6584] their broidered[H7553] garments[H899]: they shall clothe[H3847] themselves with trembling[H2731]; they shall sit[H3427] upon the ground[H776], and shall tremble[H2729] every moment[H7281], and be astonished at thee[H8074].
17. And they shall take up[H5375] a lamentation[H7015] over thee[H559], and say to thee[H6], How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited[H3427] by seafaring men[H3220], the renowned[H1984] city[H5892], that was strong[H2389] in the sea[H3220], she and her inhabitants[H3427], that caused[H5414] their terror[H2851] to be on all that dwelt there[H3427]!
18. Now shall the isles[H339] tremble[H2729] in the day[H3117] of thy fall[H4658]; yea[H339], the isles that are in the sea[H3220] shall be dismayed[H926] at thy departure[H3318].
19. For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: When I shall make[H5414] thee a desolate[H2717] city[H5892], like the cities[H5892] that are not inhabited[H3427]; when I shall bring up[H5927] the deep[H8415] upon thee[H7227], and the great waters[H4325] shall cover thee[H3680];
20. then will I bring thee down[H3381] with them that descend[H3381] into the pit[H953], to the people[H5971] of old time[H5769], and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts[H8482] of the earth[H776], in the places[H8482] that are desolate[H2723] of old[H5769], with them that go down[H3381] to the pit[H953], that thou be not inhabited[H3427]; and I will set[H5414] glory[H6643] in the land[H776] of the living[H2416].
21. I will make[H5414] thee a terror[H1091], and thou shalt no more have any being[H1245]; though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never[H5769] be found[H4672] again[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].
