Matthew 11:22 Cross References - LEB

²² Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!

¹ The oracle of Tyre:
Wail, ships of Tarshish, for _⌊the house is destroyed so that no one can enter_⌋;* it is announced to them from the land of Cyprus. ² Be still, inhabitants of the coast, merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, they filled you. ³ And on the great waters is the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile is its produce, and she was the merchandise of the nations. ⁴ Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea, the fortress of the sea said, saying, "I was not in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not reared young men, brought* up young women." ⁵ When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report _⌊about_⌋* Tyre. ⁶ Cross over to Tarshish! Wail, inhabitants of the coast! ⁷ _⌊Is this your exultant one_⌋,* her origin from the days of long ago? Her feet brought her to dwell afar as an alien. ⁸ Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,* whose merchants were princes, her traders the honored ones of the earth? ⁹ Yahweh of hosts has planned it: to defile the pride of all glory, to humble all the honored ones of the earth. ¹⁰ Cross over your own land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.* ¹¹ He has stretched his hand out over the sea; he has made kingdoms shake. Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy her fortresses. ¹² And he said,
"You will not _⌊continue_⌋* to exult, crushed one, _⌊virgin_⌋* daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus! There will be no rest for you even there." ¹³ Look at the land of the Chaldeans! _⌊This people no longer exists. Assyria destined_⌋* it for wild animals. They erected its siege towers; they demolished its citadel fortresses. It made her like a ruin. ¹⁴ Wail, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is destroyed. ¹⁵ And this will happen on that day: And Tyre will be forgotten seventy years,*
like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years,* it will be for Tyre like the song of the prostitute: ¹⁶ "Take a harp, go around the city, forgotten prostitute! Do it well, playing a stringed instrument! Make numerous songs,* that you may be remembered." ¹⁷ And this shall happen:
at the end of seventy years,* Yahweh will visit Tyre,
and she will return to her harlot's wages, and she will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. ¹⁸ And this shall happen:
her merchandise and her harlot's wages will be set apart for Yahweh;
it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the _⌊presence_⌋* of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.

¹ And it was in the _⌊eleventh_⌋* year, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh _⌊came_⌋* to me, _⌊saying_⌋,* ² "Son of man,* because* Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, 'Ah! The gates of the peoples are broken; it has swung open to me; I shall be filled, for it lies in ruins!' ³ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: 'Look! I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations like the stirring up of the sea _⌊stirring up its waves_⌋.* ⁴ And I will destroy the walls of Tyre, and they will demolish its towers, and I will scrape away its earthen dirt from it, and I will make it into _⌊a bare rock_⌋.* ⁵ It will become a place for spreading out dragnets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken,' _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh. 'And it will become as plunder for the nations, ⁶ and its daughters who are in the field with the sword, they will be killed; and they will know that I am Yahweh.'" ⁷ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "Look! I am bringing to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horse and with chariot and with horsemen and his assembly and many people. ⁸ Your daughters he will kill in the field with the sword, and he will place* against you siege works, and he will build against you a siege ramp, and he will raise against you a shield, ⁹ and the thrust of his battering ram he will direct against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his weapons. ¹⁰ From the abundance of his horses he will cover you with their fine dust; at the sound of horseman and wheel and chariot your walls will shake, at his coming into your gates like the entrance of a city that is being broken through. ¹¹ With the hooves of his horses he will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and _⌊your strong stone pillars_⌋* will tumble down to the earth. ¹² And they will plunder your wealth, and they will loot your merchandise, and they will break down your walls, and the houses of your delight they will break down, and your stones and your timbers and your earthen dirt they will cast into the midst of the water. ¹³ And, I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard any longer. ¹⁴ And I will make you into _⌊a bare rock_⌋,* a place for the spreading out of dragnets. You will not be built again, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken," _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁵ Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, "Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, _⌊at people being killed_⌋* in the midst of you? ¹⁶ And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their _⌊beautiful garments_⌋* of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble _⌊continually_⌋,* and they will be appalled over you. ¹⁷ And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you,
'How you have been lost who was inhabited from* the seas; the city that was praised, that was strong. It is located on the sea, and its inhabitants imposed their terror _⌊on all of its inhabitants_⌋.* ¹⁸ Now the coastlands will tremble at the day of your downfall, and the islands that are in the sea will be horrified because of your departure.'" ¹⁹ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when bringing up over you the deep, the _⌊great surging waters_⌋* will cover you. ²⁰ And I will bring you down with those who are going down to the grave,* _⌊an ancient people_⌋,* and I will cause you to dwell in the world* of the depths, in the ruins from of old with those who are going down to the grave,* so that you will not be inhabited and _⌊have a place_⌋* in the land of the living. ²¹ Sudden terrors I will bring on you, and you shall no longer exist; and you will be sought, and you will not be found again _⌊forever_⌋,"* _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh.

⁹ Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Tyre and for four I will not revoke the punishment,* because they delivered up a whole community to Edom and they did not remember the covenant of brotherhood! ¹⁰ So I will send a fire against the wall of Tyre and it will devour its citadel fortresses."

⁴⁷ And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will _⌊will be given a severe beating_⌋.* ⁴⁸ But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows _⌊will be given a light beating_⌋.* And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him for even more.

³ how will we escape if we* neglect so great a salvation which had its beginning when it* was spoken through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard,

⁴ For it is impossible concerning those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and become sharers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, ⁶ and having fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, because they* have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt. ⁷ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people _⌊for whose sake_⌋* it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God. ⁸ But if it* produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.

"Vengeance is mine, I will repay,"*
and again,
"The Lord will judge his people."* ³¹ It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

⁹ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to reserve the unrighteous to be punished at* the day of judgment,

¹⁷ By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so also are we in this world.
