26:1 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, 1 the word of the Lord came to me: 26:2 “Son of man, because Tyre 2 has said about Jerusalem, 3 ‘Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I will become rich, 4 now that she 5 has been destroyed,’ 26:3 therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, 6 I am against you, 7 O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. 26:4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil 8 from her and make her a bare rock. 26:5 She will be a place where fishing nets are spread, surrounded by the sea. For I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord. She will become plunder for the nations, 26:6 and her daughters 9 who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
26:7 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: Take note that 10 I am about to bring King Nebuchadrezzar 11 of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people. 26:8 He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you. 26:9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons. 12
