预言泰尔遭审判
1第十一年十一月一日，耶和华对我说： 2“人子啊，泰尔讥笑耶路撒冷说，‘哈哈！那通往列国的门户已遭破坏，城门向我大开，她已荒凉，我必兴盛。’ 3所以主耶和华说，‘泰尔啊，我要跟你作对，我要激起多国来攻击你，就像大海掀起波浪一样。 4他们要破坏你的墙垣，拆毁你的城楼。我要铲净你的瓦砾，使你成为光秃秃的磐石， 5在海中做晒网的地方，你必被列国掳掠，因为我已宣告。这是主耶和华说的。 6你陆地上的居民必死于刀下，这样你就知道我是耶和华。’
7“主耶和华说，‘我要使那王中之王的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领大队人马、战车和骑兵从北方来攻打泰尔。 8他必用刀剑杀戮你陆地上的居民，建垒筑台围困你，举着盾牌攻击你。 9他必用撞城锤击破你的城墙，用铁锤捣毁你的城楼。 10他人马众多，扬起的尘土足以遮盖你。他要攻破你的城池，进入你的城门，他的骑兵、军需车和战车要震动你的城墙。 11他战马的铁蹄必踏遍你的街道。他必挥刀屠杀你的居民，推倒你坚固的神柱， 12掠夺你的财物，摧毁你的城墙，夷平你华丽的房屋，把你的石头、木头和瓦砾抛到海里。 13我必使你的歌声消逝，琴音断绝。 14我要使你成为光秃秃的磐石，做晒网的地方，你必不得重建，因为我耶和华已经宣告。这是主耶和华说的。’
15“主耶和华对泰尔这样说，‘你倾覆的时候，你中间的杀戮声和受伤之人的惨叫声岂不震动沿海地区吗？ 16沿海诸王因你而恐惧，都从宝座上下来，除去王袍，脱掉锦衣，坐在地上发抖。 17他们必为你唱哀歌说，
“‘你这海上众民居住的名城，
向来称雄海上，威震邻邦，
现在怎么被毁灭了呢？
18你倾覆的日子，
沿海各国都战战兢兢，
众海岛看见你被毁灭，
都心惊胆战。’
19“主耶和华说，‘我要使你成为荒无人烟的城邑，我要使海水上升淹没你。 20那时，我要使你与那些堕入阴间的人一同下到作古之人那里，使你与那些堕入阴间的人一同住在大地深处久已荒凉的地方，好让你荒无人烟，在活人之地毫无尊荣。 21我使你遭受可怕的灾难，你便不复存在，就是有人寻找你，也永远找不到，这是主耶和华说的。’”
1And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: 3Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. 4And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 5It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 6And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. 8He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.26.8 cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot 9And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. 10By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.26.10 as men…: Heb. according to the enterings of a city broken up 11With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. 12And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.26.12 thy pleasant…: Heb. houses of thy desire 13And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. 14And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
15¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? 16Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.26.16 trembling: Heb. tremblings 17And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!26.17 of…: Heb. of the seas 18Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. 19For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; 20When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living; 21I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.26.21 a terror: Heb. terrors
