26:1  Now it happened in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me saying,
26:2  “Son of man, because Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’
26:3  therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
26:4  They will make the walls of Tyre a ruin and pull down her towers; and I will scrape her dust from her and make her a bare rock.
26:5  She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares Lord Yahweh, ‘and she will become plunder for the nations.
26:6  Also her daughters who are on the mainland will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’”
26:7  For thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, chariots, horsemen, and an assembly, a great number of people.
26:8  He will kill your daughters on the mainland with the sword; and he will make siege walls against you, cast up a ramp against you, and raise up a large shield against you.
26:9  The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his swords he will tear down your towers.
26:10  Because of the abundance of his horses, the fine dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of horsemen and wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.
26:11  With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will come down to the ground.
26:12  Also they will make a spoil of your wealth and a plunder of your merchandise, and pull down your walls and tear down your desirable houses, and throw your stones and your timbers and your debris into the water.
26:13  So I will cause the tumult of your songs to cease, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more.
26:14  I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more, for I Yahweh have spoken,” declares Lord Yahweh.
26:15  Thus says Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Shall not the coastlands shake at the sound of your downfall when the wounded groan, when the killing occurs in your midst?
26:16  Then all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble every moment, and be appalled at you.
26:17  They will take up a lamentation over you and say to you, ‘How you have perished, O inhabited one, From the seas, O city that was praised, Which was strong on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who imposed her terror On all her inhabitants!
26:18  Now the coastlands will tremble On the day of your downfall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be dismayed at your departure.’”
26:19  For thus says Lord Yahweh, “When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,
26:20  then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you inhabit the lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the living.
26:21  I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more; though you will be sought, you will never be found again,” declares Lord Yahweh.
