Ezekiel · Chapter 26
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
day
of the month,
that the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto me, saying,
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Yerushalayim, Aha, she is broken
that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished,
now she is laid waste:
Therefore thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Behold, I
am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
It shall be
a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken
it, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
And her daughters which
are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
For thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Bavel, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be
a place
to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) have spoken
it, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake 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 shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at
every moment, and be astonished at thee.
And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed,
that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror
to be on all that haunt it!
Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that
are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
For thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
I will make thee a terror, and thou
shalt be no
more:
though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).

Ezekiel · Chapter 27
The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came again unto me, saying,
Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea,
which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); O Tyrus, thou hast said, I
am of perfect beauty.
Thy borders
are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
They have made all thy
ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches
of ivory,
brought
out of the isles of Chittim.
Fine linen with broidered work from Mitsrayim was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise
men, O Tyrus,
that were in thee, were thy pilots.
The ancients of Gebal and the wise
men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
The men of Arvad with thine army
were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
Tarshish
was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all
kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they
were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
The men of Dedan
were thy merchants; many isles
were
the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee
for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
Syria
was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
Judah, and the land of Yisra'el, they
were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
Damascus
was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
Dedan
was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these
were they thy merchants.
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they
were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur,
and
Chilmad,
were thy merchants.
These
were thy merchants in all sorts
of things,
in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that
are in thee, and in all thy company which
is
in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
And all that handle the oar, the mariners,
and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart
and
bitter wailing.
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee,
saying, What
city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
In the time
when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in
their countenance.
The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou
shalt be
a terror, and never shalt be any more.

Ezekiel · Chapter 28
The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came again unto me, saying,
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Because thine heart
is lifted up, and thou hast said, I
am
a Elohim, I sit
in the seat of Elohim, in the midst of the seas; yet thou
art a man, and not Elohim, though thou set thine heart as the heart of Elohim:
Behold, thou
art wiser than Daniyye'l; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
By thy great wisdom
and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Therefore thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of Elohim;
Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of
them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I
am Elohim? but thou
shalt be a man, and no Elohim, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken
it, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Moreover the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto me, saying,
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Elohim; every precious stone
was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou
art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee
so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou
wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Elohim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never
shalt thou
be any more.
Again the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
And say, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Behold, I
am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her street; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Yisra'el, nor
any grieving thorn of all
that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I
am the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); When I shall have gathered the house of Yisra'el from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Ya'aqov.
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim.
