* And it came to pass in the eleventh year , in the first [day ] of the month , that the word of LORD came to me , saying , * Son of man , because Tyre has said against Jerusalem , Aha , she is broken , the gate of the peoples . She has turned around to me . I shall be replenished , now that she is laid waste , * therefore thus says lord LORD : Behold , I am against thee , O Tyre , and will cause many nations to come up against thee , as the sea causes its waves to come up . * And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre , and break down her towers . I will also scrape her dust from her , and make her a bare rock . * She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea , for I have spoken it , says lord LORD . And she shall become a spoil to the nations , * and her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword . And they shall know that I am LORD . * For thus says lord LORD : Behold , I will bring upon Tyre , Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , king of kings , from the north , with horses , and with chariots , and with horsemen , and a company , and many people . * He shall kill thy daughters in the field with the sword . And he shall make forts against thee , and cast up a mound against thee , and raise up the buckler against thee . * And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls , and with his axes he shall break down thy towers . * Because of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee . Thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen , and of the wagons , and of the chariots , when he shall enter into thy gates , as men enter into a city in which a * With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets . He shall kill thy people with the sword , and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground . * 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 wate * And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease , and the sound of thy harps shall no more be heard . * And I will make thee a bare rock ; thou shall be a place for the spreading of nets . Thou shall be built no more , for I LORD have spoken it , says lord LORD . * Thus says lord LORD to Tyre : Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall , when the wounded groan , when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee ? * Then all the rulers of the sea shall come down from their thrones , and lay aside their robes , and strip off their broidered garments . They shall clothe themselves with trembling . They shall sit upon the ground , and shall tremble ev * And they shall take up a lamentation over thee , and say to thee , How thou are destroyed , who were inhabited by seafaring men , the renowned city that was strong in the sea , she and her inhabitants , who caused their terror to be on a * Now the isles shall tremble in the day of thy fall . Yea , the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure . * For thus says lord LORD : 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 the great waters shall cover thee , * then I will bring thee down with those who descend into the pit , to the people of old time , and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth , in the places that are desolate of old , with those who go down to the pit , th * I will make thee a horror , and thou shall no more have any being . Though thou be sought for , yet thou shall never be found again , says lord LORD .
