1. On the first day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year, the word of the Lord came to me:
2. Son of man, because Tyre said of Jerusalem:“Aha! The gateway of the peoples is smashed!It has been turned over to me;I will be enriched by its ruin!”
3. therefore thus says the Lord God:See! I am coming against you, Tyre;I will churn up against you many nations,just as the sea churns up its waves.
4. They will destroy the walls of Tyreand tear down its towers;I will scrape off its debrisand leave it a bare rock.
5. It will become a place for drying netsin the midst of the sea.For I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God:she will become plunder for the nations.
6. Her daughter cities on the mainlandwill be slaughtered by the sword;then they shall know that I am the Lord.
