1. In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the Lord’s word came to me:
2. Human one, because Tyre laughed at Jerusalem:"The gate of the peoples is broken,she lies open before me,she is destroyed, but I will succeed!"
3. The Lord God now proclaims:Tyre, I’m now against you!Just as the sea hurls up its waves,I will bring many nations up against you.
4. When they destroy the walls of Tyreand throw down its towers,I will scrape off all its dirtand make it into a bare rock,
5. a place for drying netsin the middle of the sea.I have spoken! This is what the Lord God says.It will become prey for the nations,
6. and its towns around itwill be put to the sword.Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7. The Lord God proclaims:I’m bringing Nebuchadrezzar against Tyre,the king of Babylon from the north,the greatest of all kings,with horses, chariots, and charioteers,an assembly, a great army.
