1. In 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 about Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I will become rich, now that she has been destroyed,’
3. therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am against you, O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
4. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.
