1. In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, “Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken. It has opened to me. I shall be filled now that she is laid waste,”
3. therefore thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
4. They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her and make her a bare rock.
5. She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, says the Lord God, and she shall become destruction to the nations.
6. Her daughters who are on the mainland shall be slain by the sword. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
