Ezekiel 26:1-6

Ezekiel 26

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2“Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’

3therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

4They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.

5She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,

6and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
