¹And it happened in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying:

²Son of man, because Tyre said about Jerusalem, Aha! The doors of the peoples are broken; she has turned to me; I will be filled, she is laid waste —

³Therefore thus says Adonai Yahweh: Look, I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations, as the sea brings up its waves.

⁴They will ruin the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers, and I will scrape her dust from her and make her a bare crag.

⁵She will be a spreading place for nets in the middle of the sea, for I have spoken, the utterance of Adonai Yahweh; and she will become plunder for the nations.

⁶And her daughters who are in the field will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am Yahweh.

⁷For thus says Adonai Yahweh: Look, I am bringing against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from the north, king of kings, with horses and with chariotry and with horsemen, and a company, and a numerous people.

⁸Your daughters in the field he will kill by the sword; and he will set a siege-wall against you, and pour out a mound against you, and raise up a shield against you.

⁹And the strike of his battering-ram he will set against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his swords.

¹⁰From the abundance of his horses; their dust will cover you; from the sound of horsemen and wheel and chariot your walls will shake, when he comes into your gates, like the entering of a city that is broken into.

¹¹With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; your people he will kill by the sword, and the pillars of your strength will come down to the land.

¹²They will plunder your wealth and take your merchandise as spoil, and tear down your walls and pull down your precious houses; and your stones and your wood and your dust they will put in the middle of the waters.

¹³And I will make the noise of your songs cease, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard again.

¹⁴And I will make you a bare crag; you will be a spreading place for nets; you will not be built again, for I, Yahweh, have spoken, the utterance of Adonai Yahweh.

¹⁵Thus says Adonai Yahweh to Tyre: Will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your ruin, at the groan of the fatally wounded, when there is killing, slaughter, in the middle of you?

¹⁶And all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments; they will put on tremblings, they will sit on the land, and tremble by the moment, and be appalled at you.

¹⁷And they will lift up a lament over you and say to you: How you have perished, O inhabited one from the seas, the city once praised, who was mighty on the sea, she and her dwellers, who put their terror on all her inhabitants!

¹⁸Now the coastlands will tremble on the day of your ruin, and the coastlands that are in the sea will be terrified at your going out.

¹⁹For thus says Adonai Yahweh: When I make you a city laid desolate, like cities that are not dwelt in, when I bring up the deep over you, and the many waters cover you,

²⁰And I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to a people of forever, and I will make you dwell in the land of the lowest parts, like ruins from forever, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not dwell; and I will give beauty in the land of the living.

²¹I will make you terrors, and you will be no more; and you will be sought, but you will not be found again, forever, the utterance of Adonai Yahweh.
