Ezekiel 26:13-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. ‘And I shall cause the sound of your songs to cease, and let the sound of your lyres be heard no more.

14. ‘And I shall make you like a shining rock, and let you be a place for spreading nets, never to be rebuilt, for I יהוה have spoken,’ declares the Master יהוה.

15. “Thus said the Master יהוה to Tsor, ‘Would the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in your midst?

16. ‘And all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and they shall lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments, and put on trembling, and sit on the ground. And they shall tremble continuously, and they shall be astonished at you.

17. ‘And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and say to you, “How you have perished, O one inhabited by seafaring men, the city well-praised, who was strong at sea, she and her inhabitants, who put their fear on all her inhabitants!

18. Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall! And the coastlands by the sea shall shudder at your going out.” ’

19. “For thus said the Master יהוה, ‘When I make you a ruined city, like cities no longer inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you,

20. then I shall bring you down with those who go down into the Pit, to the people of old. And I shall make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in wastes of old, with those who go to the Pit, so that you do not return. But I shall establish splendour in the land of the living.

21. ‘I make you a horror, and let you be no more. And you are sought for, but never found again,’ declares the Master יהוה.”
