MLV(i)
5 She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.
And she will become a spoil to the nations, 6 and her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword.
And they will know that I am Jehovah.
7 For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses and with chariots and with horsemen and a company and many people.
8 He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. And he will make forts against you and cast up a mound against you and raise up the buckler against you. 9 And he will set his battering engines against your walls and with his axes he will break down your towers.
10 Because of the abundance of his horses their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and of the wagons and of the chariots, when he will enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which a breach is made.
11 With the hoofs of his horses he will tread down all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword and the pillars of your strength will go down to the ground. 12 And they will make a spoil of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. And they will break down your walls and destroy your desirable houses and they will lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.
13 And I will cause the roar of your songs to cease and the sound of your harps will no more be heard. 14 And I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more, for I Jehovah have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.
15 The lord Jehovah says thus to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you? 16 Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their thrones and lie aside their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit upon the ground and will tremble every moment and be astonished at you.
17 And they will take up a lamentation over you and say to you, How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who dwelt there! 18 Now the isles will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the isles that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.
19 For thus says the lord Jehovah: When I will make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I will bring up the deep upon you and the great waters will cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time and will make you to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you not be inhabited. And I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 I will make you a horror and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will not be found again everlasting, says the lord Jehovah.
And she will become a spoil to the nations, 6 and her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword.
And they will know that I am Jehovah.
