Son of man, becausethatTyrushathsaidagainstJerusalem, Aha, she is brokenthat was the gates of the people: she is turnedunto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laidwaste:
Thereforethussaith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am againstthee, O Tyrus, and willcausemanynations to come up againstthee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I havespoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shallbecome a spoil to the nations.
For thussaith the Lord GOD; Behold, I willbringuponTyrusNebuchadrezzarking of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, withhorses, and withchariots, and withhorsemen, and companies, and muchpeople.
He shallslaywith the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shallmake a fortagainstthee, and cast a mountagainstthee, and lift up the buckleragainstthee.
By reason of the abundance of his horsestheirdustshallcoverthee: thy wallsshallshake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shallenterinto thy gates, as men enterinto a citywherein is made a breach.
With the hoofs of his horsesshall he treaddown all thy streets: he shallslay thy people by the sword, and thy stronggarrisonsshall go down to the ground.
And theyshallmake a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and theyshallbreakdown thy walls, and destroy thy pleasanthouses: and theyshall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
And I willmaketheelike the top of a rock: thoushalt be a place to spreadnetsupon; thoushalt be built no more: for I the LORDhavespoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Thussaith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the islesshake 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 shallcomedownfromtheirthrones, and lay awaytheirrobes, and put off theirbroideredgarments: theyshallclothethemselveswithtrembling; theyshall sit upon the ground, and shalltremble at everymoment, and be astonished at thee.
And theyshalltake up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thoudestroyed, thatwastinhabited of seafaring men, the renownedcity, whichwaststrong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, whichcausetheirterror to be on all thathaunt it!
For thussaith the Lord GOD; When I shallmakethee a desolatecity, like the citiesthat are not inhabited; when I shallbring up the deepuponthee, and greatwatersshallcoverthee;
When I shallbringtheedownwiththemthatdescendinto the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in placesdesolate of old, withthemthat go down to the pit, thatthou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
