26:1Tsor’s punishment

26At the beginning of the month in the eleventh year since King Yoyakin (Jehoiachin) had been taken captive, Yahweh gave me a message:[ref] 2“Humanity’s child, because Tsor (Tyre) has said against Yerushalem, ‘Nice one! Yerushalem’s gates are broken. It’s going my way—I can take advantage because it’s been destroyed.’

3Therefore the master Yahweh says this: ‘Listen, I’m opposed to you, Tsor, and I’ll raise up many nations against you just like the sea raises its waves. 4They’ll destroy Tsor’s walls and tear down its towers, then I’ll sweep its dust away and make it like a bare rock. 5It’ll become a place in the middle of the sea for people to spread their nets out to dry them, since I’ve declared it and it’ll become plunder for the nations. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration. 6Its young women who’re in the countryside will be slaughtered by the swords, and then they’ll know that I am Yahweh.’

7Yes, this is what Yahweh says: Listen, I’m bringing the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, king of kings from the north, against Tsor, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a large army. 8He’ll kill your daughters in the countryside. He’ll set up a siege program and build a ramp against your walls and raise up shields against you. 9He’ll use his battering rams to smash down your walls, and he’ll tear down your towers with his axes. 10They’ll have so many horses that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake with the noise of their horsemen, wagons, and chariots. When he rides through your gates, he’ll pick his way over the stones like men do when entering a city whose walls have been broken down. 11The hooves of his horses will trample all of your streets. He’ll slaughter your people with the sword and your mighty stone pillars will be knocked to the ground. 12They’ll tear down your walls and destroy your nice homes—plundering your riches and looting your merchandise. Then they’ll throw your building stones, wood, and rubble into the ocean. 13I’ll stop the sound of your songs and the music from your harps won’t be heard anymore. 14I’ll make you back into a bare rock—you’ll become a place where nets are spread out to dry. You’ll never be built again, because I, master Yahweh have spoken. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.

15The master Yahweh says this to Tsor, ‘Won’t the islands shake with the sound of your downfall, and with the groans of the wounded when the terrible slaughter is happening in you? 16Then all the leaders of the coastal kingdoms will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and take off their embroidered clothes. Instead, they’ll clothe themselves with trembling, they’ll sit on the ground and tremble every moment, and they’ll be appalled because of you. 17Then they’ll sing this song of mourning for you: and say to you,

How you, who were inhabited by sailors, have been destroyed.

The famous city that was so strong, it’s now gone from the sea.

The ones living in her once spread a terror about themselves upon everyone who lived nearby.

18Now the coastal kingdoms tremble on the day of your downfall.

The islands in the sea are terrified by your passing.’

19Yes, the master Yahweh says this: When I make you a desolate city, like the other cities that are not inhabited, when I raise up the deeps against you, and when the great waters cover you, 20then I’ll take you down to the pit that people of ancient times went down to, because I’ll make you live in the lowest realms of the earth as in ruins of ancient times. Because of that, you won’t come back and be splendid in the land of the living. 21I’ll send disaster onto you, and you won’t exist anymore. Then people will look for you, but you’ll never be found again. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.”[ref]
