Ezekiel 以西结书26

26In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
2"Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,'
3therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves.
4They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble 1 and make her a bare rock.
5Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD . She will become plunder 2 for the nations,
6and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged 4 by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD .
7"For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with horsemen and a great army.
8He will ravage 3 your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp 5 up to your walls and raise his shields against you.
9He will direct the blows of his battering 6 rams 7 against your walls and demolish 8 your towers with his weapons.
10His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the war horses, wagons 9 and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.
11The hoofs 10 of his horses will trample 11 all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.
12They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.
13I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps 12 will be heard no more.
14I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt, for I the LORD have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD .
15"This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands tremble at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan 13 and the slaughter 14 takes place in you?
16Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered 15 garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled 16 at you.
17Then they will take up a lament 17 concerning you and say to you: " 'How you are destroyed, O city of renown 18, peopled by men of the sea! You were a power on the seas, you and your citizens; you put your terror on all who lived there.
18Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall; the islands in the sea are terrified at your collapse 19.'
19"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I make you a desolate 20 city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths over you and its vast waters cover you,
20then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place in the land of the living.
21I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more. You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign LORD ."
