26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of Yehovah came to
me, saying,
26:2 Son of man, because Sor has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is
crushed: the nations are destroyed: she is turned to me: she that was full
is made desolate:
26:3 therefore thus saith Yehovah; Behold, I am against thee, O Sor, and I
will bring up many nations against thee, as the sea comes up with its waves.
26:4 And they shall cast down the walls of Sor, and shall cast down thy
towers: and I will scrape her dust from off her, and make her a bare rock.
26:5 She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for repairing nets: for I
have spoken [it], saith Yehovah: and it shall be a spoil for the nations.
26:6 And her daughters [which are] in the field shall be slain with the
sword, and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
26:7 For thus saith Yehovah; Behold, I [will] bring up against thee, O Sor,
Nabuchodonoor king of Babylon from the north: he is a king of kings, with
horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and a concourse of very many nations.
26:8 He shall slay thy daughters that are in the field with the sword, and
shall set a watch against thee, and build forts around thee, and carry a
rampart round against thee, and set up warlike works, and array his spears
against thee.
26:9 He shall cast down with his swords thy walls and thy towers.
26:10 By reason of thy multitude of his horses their dust shall cover thee,
and by reason of the sound of his horsemen and the wheels of his chariots
thy walls shall be shaken, when he enters into thy gates, as one entering
into a city from the plain.
26:11 With the hoofs of his horses they shall trample all thy streets: he
shall slay thy people with the sword, and shall bring down to the ground the
support of thy strength.
26:12 And he shall prey upon thy power, and plunder thy substance, and shall
cast down thy walls, and break down thy pleasant houses: and he shall cast
thy stones and thy timber and thy dust into the midst of thy sea.
26:13 And he shall destroy the multitude of thy musicians, and the sound of
thy psalteries shall be heard no more.
26:14 And I will make thee a bare rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets
upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I Yehovah have spoken [it], saith
Yehovah.
26:15 For thus saith Yehovah Elohim to Sor; Shall not the isles shake at the
sound of thy fall, while the wounded are groaning, while they have drawn a
sword in the midst of thee?
26:16 And all the princes of the nations of the sea shall come down from
their thrones, and shall take off their crowns from their heads, and shall
take off their embroidered raiment: they shall be utterly amazed; they shall
sit upon the ground, and fear their [own] destruction, and shall groan over
thee.
26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and shall say to thee,
How art thou destroyed from out of the sea, the renowned city, that brought
her terror upon all her inhabitants.
26:18 And the isles shall be alarmed at the day of thy fall.
26:19 For thus saith Yehovah Elohim; When I shall make the city desolate, as
the cities that shall not be inhabited, when I have brought the deep up upon
thee,
26:20 and great waters shall cover thee; and I shall bring thee down to them
that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause thee to
dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them
that go down to the pit, that thou mayest not be inhabited, nor stand upon
the land of life;
26:21 I will make thee a destruction, and thou shalt be no more for ever,
saith Yehovah Elohim. |
26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came unto me,
saying,
26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, 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:
26:3 Therefore thus saith Yehovah GOD; 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.
26:4 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.
26:5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea:
for I have spoken it, saith Yehovah GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the
nations.
26:6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword;
and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
26:7 For thus saith Yehovah GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with
horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much
people.
26:8 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.
26:9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he
shall break down thy towers.
26:10 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.
26:11 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.
26:12 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.
26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy
harps shall be no more heard.
26:14 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 Yehovah have spoken
it, saith Yehovah GOD.
26:15 Thus saith Yehovah GOD 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?
26:16 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.
26:17 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!
26:18 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.
26:19 For thus saith Yehovah GOD; 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;
26:20 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;
26:21 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 Yehovah GOD. |
