The Downfall of Tyre
26 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, because Tyre(A) said about Jerusalem, ‘Good!(B) The gateway to the peoples is shattered. She has been turned over to me. I will be filled now that she lies in ruins,’ 3 therefore this is what the Lord God says: See, I am against you, Tyre!(C) I will raise up many nations against you, just as the sea raises its waves. 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and turn her into a bare rock. 5 She will become a place in the sea to spread nets, for I have spoken.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “She will become plunder for the nations,(D) 6 and her villages on the mainland will be slaughtered by the sword.(E) Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
7 For this is what the Lord God says: “See, I am about to bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, king of kings,(F) against Tyre from the north with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a vast company of troops. 8 He will slaughter your villages on the mainland with the sword. He will set up siege works against you,(G) and will build a ramp[a] and raise a wall of shields against you. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his iron tools. 10 His horses will be so numerous that their dust will cover you. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots. 11 He will trample all your streets with the hooves of his horses.(H) He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. 12 They will take your wealth as spoil and plunder your merchandise.(I) They will also demolish your walls and tear down your beautiful homes. Then they will throw your stones, timber, and soil into the water. 13 I will put an end to the noise of your songs,(J) and the sound of your lyres will no longer be heard. 14 I will turn you into a bare rock, and you will be a place to spread nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, Yahweh, have spoken.”(K) This is the declaration of the Lord God.
15 This is what the Lord God says to Tyre: “Won’t the coasts and islands quake at the sound of your downfall,(L) when the wounded groan and slaughter occurs within you? 16 All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones,(M) remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble continually, and be appalled(N) at you. 17 Then they will lament(O) for you and say of you:
How you have perished, city of renown,
you who were populated from the seas![b]
She who was powerful on the sea,
she and all of her inhabitants
inflicted their terror.[c]
18 Now the coastlands tremble(P)
on the day of your downfall;
the islands in the sea
are alarmed by your demise.”
19 For this is what the Lord God says: “When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down to be with those who descend to the Pit,(Q) to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the underworld[d] like[e] the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or display your splendor[f] in the land of the living.(R) 21 I will make you an object of horror, and you will no longer exist.(S) You will be sought but will never be found again.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
The Sinking of Tyre
27 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Now, son of man, lament for Tyre.(T) 3 Say to Tyre, who is located at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples(U) to many coasts and islands: This is what the Lord God says:
Tyre, you declared,
‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Your realm was in the heart of the sea;
your builders perfected your beauty.
5 They constructed all your planking
with pine trees from Senir.[g](V)
They took a cedar from Lebanon
to make a mast for you.
6 They made your oars of oaks from Bashan.
They made your deck of cypress wood
from the coasts of Cyprus,(W)
inlaid with ivory.
7 Your sail was made of
fine embroidered linen from Egypt,
and served as your banner.
Your awning was of blue and purple fabric
from the coasts of Elishah.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad(X)
were your rowers.
Your wise men were within you, Tyre;
they were your captains.
9 The elders of Gebal and its wise men(Y)
were within you, repairing your leaks.
All the ships of the sea and their sailors
came to[h] you to barter for your goods.
10 Men of Persia, Lud, and Put(Z)
were in your army, serving as your warriors.
They hung shields and helmets in you;
they gave you splendor.
11 Men of Arvad and Helech
were stationed on your walls all around,
and Gammadites were in your towers.
They hung their shields[i] all around your walls;
they perfected your beauty.
12 “Tarshish(AA) was your trading partner because of your great wealth of every kind. They exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech(AB) were your merchants. They exchanged slaves[j] and bronze utensils for your goods. 14 Those from Beth-togarmah(AC) exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise. 15 Men of Dedan[k](AD) were also your merchants; many coasts and islands were your regular markets. They brought back ivory tusks(AE) and ebony as your payment. 16 Aram[l][m] was your trading partner because of your numerous products. They exchanged turquoise,[n] purple and embroidered cloth, fine linen, coral,[o] and rubies[p] for your merchandise. 17 Judah and the land of Israel were your merchants. They exchanged wheat from Minnith,(AF) meal,[q] honey, oil, and balm, for your goods. 18 Damascus was also your trading partner because of your numerous products and your great wealth of every kind, trading in wine from Helbon and white wool.[r] 19 Vedan[s] and Javan from Uzal[t](AG) dealt in your merchandise; wrought iron, cassia,(AH) and aromatic cane were exchanged for your goods. 20 Dedan(AI) was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business[u] partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats. 22 The merchants of Sheba(AJ) and Raamah traded with you. They exchanged gold, the best of all spices, and all kinds of precious stones for your merchandise.(AK) 23 Haran, Canneh, Eden,(AL) the merchants of Sheba, Asshur,(AM) and Chilmad traded with you. 24 They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets,[v] which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace. 25 Ships of Tarshish(AN) were the carriers for your goods.
So you became full and heavily loaded[w]
in the heart of the sea.
26 Your rowers have brought you
onto the high seas,(AO)
but the east wind has shattered you
in the heart of the sea.
27 Your wealth, merchandise, and goods,
your sailors and captains,
those who repair your leaks,
those who barter for your goods,
and all the warriors within you,
with all the other people on board,[x]
sink into the heart of the sea
on the day of your downfall.
28 The countryside shakes
at the sound of your sailors’ cries.(AP)
29 All those who handle an oar
disembark from their ships.
The sailors and all the captains of the sea
stand on the shore.
30 They raise their voices over you
and cry out bitterly.
They throw dust on their heads;(AQ)
they roll in ashes.
31 They shave their heads because of you
and wrap themselves in sackcloth.
They weep over you
with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they lament for you,(AR)
mourning over you:
Who was like Tyre,
silenced[y] in the middle of the sea?
33 When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas,
you satisfied many peoples.
You enriched the kings of the earth
with your abundant wealth and goods.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your goods and the people within you
have gone down.
35 All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands
are appalled(AS) at you.
Their kings shudder with fear;
their faces are contorted.
36 Those who trade among the peoples
mock[z](AT) you;
you have become an object of horror
and will never exist again.”(AU)

4 And also: Tyre,(A) Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia(B)—what are you to Me? Are you paying Me back or trying to get even with Me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.(C) 5 For you took My silver and gold and carried My finest treasures(D) to your temples. 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks(E) to remove them far from their own territory. 7 Look, I am about to rouse them up from the place where you sold them;(F) I will bring retribution on your heads. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah,(G) and they will sell them to the Sabeans,[a](H) to a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.

3 Tyre has built herself a fortress;
she has heaped up silver like dust

and cast her wealth into the sea;
she herself will be consumed by fire.(D)
