Ezekiel:26:1-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass in the eleventh #
H6240year ,
in the first day of the month ,
that the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he shall set engines of war against thy walls ,
and with his axes he shall break down thy towers .
*
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 sha #
ar #,
as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease ;
and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones ,
and lay away their robes m @#
iyl #,
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 .
*
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 !
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 ;
*
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 .
