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.
