Ezekiel, starting at chapter 25
{25:1} The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, {25:2} Son of man, set
your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them:
{25:3} and tell the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord
Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because you said, Aha, against my
sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when
it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went
into captivity: {25:4} therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the
children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their
encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat
your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. {25:5} I will make Rabbah
a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a resting place for
flocks: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. {25:6} For thus says the
Lord Yahweh: Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the
feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land
of Israel; {25:7} therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on
you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut
you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the
countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
{25:8} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold,
the house of Judah is like all the nations; {25:9} therefore, behold,
I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which
are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal
Meon, and Kiriathaim, {25:10} to the children of the east, [to go]
against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession,
that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
{25:11} and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that
I am Yahweh. {25:12} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Edom has dealt
against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly
offended, and revenged himself on them; {25:13} therefore thus says
the Lord Yahweh, I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off
man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even
to Dedan shall they fall by the sword. {25:14} I will lay my vengeance
on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom
according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know
my vengeance, says the Lord Yahweh. {25:15} Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken
vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;
{25:16} therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch
out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites,
and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. {25:17} I will execute great
vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am
Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
{26:1} It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the
month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, {26:2} Son of man,
because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken: the gate
of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that
she is laid waste: {26:3} therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold,
I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against
you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. {26:4} 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. {26:5} She shall be a place
for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken
it, says the Lord Yahweh; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.
{26:6} Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the
sword: and they shall know that I am Yahweh. {26:7} For thus says the
Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with
chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people. {26:8} He
shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword; and he shall
make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up
the buckler against you. {26:9} He shall set his battering engines
against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
{26:10} By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall
cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of
the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates,
as men enter into a city in which is made a breach. {26:11} With the
hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets; he shall
kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength
shall go down to the ground. {26:12} They shall make a spoil of your
riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down
your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your
stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.
{26:13} I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound
of your harps shall be no more heard. {26:14} I will make you a bare
rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be
built no more: for I Yahweh have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.
{26:15} Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre: shall not the islands shake
at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter
is made in the midst of you? {26:16} Then all the princes of the sea
shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and
strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves
with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every
moment, and be astonished at you. {26:17} They shall take up a
lamentation over you, and tell you, How you are destroyed, who were
inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the
sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who
lived there! {26:18} Now shall the islands tremble in the day of your
fall; yes, the islands that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your
departure. {26:19} For thus says the Lord Yahweh: When I shall make
you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I
shall bring up the deep on you, and the great waters shall cover you;
{26:20} then will I bring you down with those who descend into the
pit, to the people of old time, and will make you to dwell in the
lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with
those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will
set glory in the land of the living: {26:21} I will make you a terror,
and you shall no more have any being; though you are sought for, yet
you will never be found again, says the Lord Yahweh.
{27:1} The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, {27:2} You, son
of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre; {27:3} and tell Tyre, you who
dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to
many islands, thus says the Lord Yahweh: You, Tyre, have said, I am
perfect in beauty. {27:4} Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
your builders have perfected your beauty. {27:5} They have made all
your planks of fir trees from Senir; they have taken a cedar from
Lebanon to make a mast for you. {27:6} Of the oaks of Bashan have they
made your oars; they have made your benches of ivory inlaid in
boxwood, from the islands of Kittim. {27:7} Of fine linen with
embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you for
a banner; blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning.
{27:8} The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers: your wise
men, Tyre, were in you, they were your pilots. {27:9} The old men of
Gebal and the wise men of it were in you your repairers of ship seams:
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in
your merchandise. {27:10} Persia and Lud and Put were in your army,
your men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in you; they set
forth your comeliness. {27:11} The men of Arvad with your army were on
your walls all around, and valorous men were in your towers; they
hanged their shields on your walls all around; they have perfected
your beauty. {27:12} Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the
multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead,
they traded for your wares. {27:13} Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they
were your traffickers; they traded the persons of men and vessels of
brass for your merchandise. {27:14} They of the house of Togarmah
traded for your wares with horses and war horses and mules. {27:15}
The men of Dedan were your traffickers; many islands were the market
of your hand: they brought you in exchange horns of ivory and ebony.
{27:16} Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your
handiworks: they traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, and
embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies. {27:17}
Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your traffickers: they traded
for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, and confections, and honey, and
oil, and balm. {27:18} Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of
your handiworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches,
with the wine of Helbon, and white wool. {27:19} Vedan and Javan
traded with yarn for your wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus,
were among your merchandise. {27:20} Dedan was your trafficker in
precious cloths for riding. {27:21} Arabia, and all the princes of
Kedar, they were the merchants of your hand; in lambs, and rams, and
goats, in these were they your merchants. {27:22} The traffickers of
Sheba and Raamah, they were your traffickers; they traded for your
wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and
gold. {27:23} Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba,
Asshur [and] Chilmad, were your traffickers. {27:24} These were your
traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered
work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of
cedar, among your merchandise. {27:25} The ships of Tarshish were your
caravans for your merchandise: and you were replenished, and made very
glorious in the heart of the seas. {27:26} Your rowers have brought
you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the heart of
the seas. {27:27} Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your
mariners, and your pilots, your repairers of ship seams, and the
dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you,
with all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into
the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin. {27:28} At the sound of
the cry of your pilots the suburbs shall shake. {27:29} All who
handled the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of the sea, shall
come down from their ships; they shall stand on the land, {27:30} and
shall cause their voice to be heard over you, and shall cry bitterly,
and shall cast up dust on their heads, they shall wallow themselves in
the ashes: {27:31} and they shall make themselves bald for you, and
gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you in bitterness of
soul with bitter mourning. {27:32} In their wailing they shall take up
a lamentation for you, and lament over you, [saying], Who is there
like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?
{27:33} When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many
peoples; you did enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of
your riches and of your merchandise. {27:34} In the time that you were
broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and
all your company did fall in the midst of you. {27:35} All the
inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are
horribly afraid; they are troubled in their face. {27:36} The
merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you are become a terror, and
you shall nevermore have any being.
