of Israel with all thine heart,

Therefore, behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will give thee for a prey unto the heathen, and will cut thee off from among the nations, and will destroy thee out of the countries; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is even as all the nations,

Behold, I will open Moab aside in his cities, and in his borders of the noble land, even Beth-jesimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

To the children of the east with the children of Ammon; and I will give them for an inheritance, and the children of Ammon shall no more be remembered among the heathen.

And I will execute judgment upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because Edom hath avenged herself on the house of Judah, and hath been guilty of her revenge,

Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD: I will stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off from it both man and beast; and I will make it desolate from Theman even unto Dedan, and will cut it down by the sword.

And I will avenge myself on Edom by my people Israel, and they shall deal with Edom according to mine anger and my fury, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the LORD
GOD.

Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because the Philistines have avenged themselves, and have atoned for the old hatred according to all their will in the hurt of my people, 16. Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and will cut off the warriors, and will destroy the remnant that are by the sea port.

And I will execute great vengeance upon them, and will punish them with fury; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have executed my vengeance upon them.

Chapter 26
Prophecy against Tyre.

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the first month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, because Tyre saith concerning Jerusalem, Heh, the gates of the nations are broken, it is turned unto me; I will now be filled, because she is desolate: 3. Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre; and I will bring up many nations against thee, as the sea riseth up with the waves thereof.

They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down the towers thereof: yea, I will also sweep away the dust from before her, and will make her a mere rock.

And for a value in the sea, whereon they stretch out the fishes’ yarns: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD, and it shall be a prey to the heathen.

And their daughters that lie in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

For thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will cause Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to come upon Tyre from the north, a king of kings, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great multitude of people.

And he shall slay thy daughters that lie in the field with the sword: but against thee shall he pitch a fortress, and make a ruin, and prepare shields against thee.

He shall break down thy walls with goats, and shall overthrow thy towers with his weapons.

The dust of the multitude of his horses shall cover thee: thy walls also shall shake with the tumult of his horses, and of his wheels, and of his horsemen, when he cometh in at thy gates, as one cometh in at a broken city.

He shall tread down all thy streets with the feet of his horses. Thy people shall he slay with the sword, and thy strong pillars shall he pull down to the ground.

They shall spoil thy goods, and plunder thy commerce. Thy walls shall they break down, and thy fine houses shall they overthrow; and they shall cast thy stones and thy timber and thy dust into the waters.

So will I make an end of the sound of thy singing, that the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more.

And I will make of thee a mere rock, and a rock for a fish twine, and thou shalt not be built any more: for I am the LORD that speaketh these things, saith the LORD GOD.

Thus saith the LORD against Tyre, What matter, the isles shall tremble, when thou shalt be cut down so vilely, and thy wounded shall groan, when they shall be slain in thee.

All the princes of the sea shall sit down from off their seats, and shall put off their robes, and shall put off their embroidered garments, and shall walk in mourning, and shall sit upon the earth, and shall be afraid, and shall be astonished at thy sudden falling.

And they shall lament thee, and say of thee, Alas, how art thou become desolate, thou great city, which was by the sea, and so mighty upon the sea, with thy inhabitants, that all the land was afraid of thee.

Oh, how the isles are dismayed at thy fall! Yea, the isles of the sea are dismayed at thy fall.

Thus saith the LORD GOD; I will make thee a desolate city, as other cities, where no man dwelleth therein; and I will bring upon thee a great flood, and great waters shall cover thee.

And I will cast thee down with them that go down to the pit, even with the dead. I will cast thee under the earth, and make thee as an everlasting desolation with them that go down to the pit; that no man dwell in thee. I will make thee, O tender one, in the land of the living, 21. Yea, I will make thee a terror, that thou shalt be nothing: and if any man inquire of thee, he shall never find thee, saith the Lord GOD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 27
Lament over the destruction of Tyre.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Son of man, make a lamentation for Tyre.

And say unto Tyre, which lieth by the sea, and traffitteth with many isles of the nations: Thus saith the LORD GOD; O Tyre, thou sayest, I am the most beautiful.

Thy borders are in the midst of the sea, and thy builders have made thee most beautiful.

They have made all thy table-work of cypress wood of the Sanir, and have led the cedars of Lebanon, and have made thy mast-trees of them.

And, thy oars of oaks out of Bashan, and thy benches of ivory, and the goodly chairs out of the isles of Chittim.

Thy sail was of embroidered silk out of Egypt, to be thy banner; and thy covering of yellow silk and purple out of the isles of Elisha.

They of Zidon and Arvad were thy oarsmen, and thou hadst skillful men to ship to Tyre.

The elders and the wise men of Gebal made thy ships. All the ships of the sea, and the mariners, were found in thee: they had their trade in thee.

They that came out of Persia, and Lydia, and Libya, were thy people of war, that put up their shield and their helmet in thee, and made thee so fair.

They of Arvad were among thy host round about thy walls, and watchmen upon thy towers: they have hung down their shields from thy walls every where, and have made thee fair.

Thou hast had thy trade upon the sea, and hast brought all manner of merchandise, silver,
iron, tin, and lead, into thy markets.

Javan, and Thubal, and Mesech, have traded with thee, and have brought thee bondmen and brass into thy markets.

They of Thogarmah have brought thee horses and chariots and mules to thy markets.

They of Dedan have been thy merchants, and have traded in all the isles: they have sold thee ivory and ebony.

The Syrians have bought from thee thy work which thou hast made, and brought into thy markets ruby, and purple, and tapestry, and silk, and silk waste, and crystals.

Judah also and the land of Israel have traded with thee, and have brought thee wheat of Minnith, and balm, and honey, and oil, and mastic, into thy markets; 18. And Damascus also hath offered unto thee thy work, and all manner of merchandise, and strong wine, and fine wool.

Dan, and Javan, and Mehusal, have also brought into thy markets the ironwork, and the cassia, and the calamus, to trade with thee.

Dedan hath dealt with thee in decks to sit upon.

Arabia and all the princes of Kedar have dealt with thee in sheep rams and goats.

The merchants of Sheba and Raema have traded with thee, and brought into thy markets all manner of precious spices, and precious stone, and gold.

Haran, and Kanne, and Eden, and the merchants of Sheba, and Assyria, and Kilmad, have been thy merchants.

They have all traded with thee in precious raiment, in silken and embroidered cloths, which they have brought into thy markets in precious boxes made of cedar, and well kept.

But the ships of the sea have been the chief of thy markets. So thou hast become very rich and glorious in the midst of the sea.

And thy shipmen have led thee upon great waters. But an east wind shall break thee up in the midst of the sea,

also daß deine Ware, Kaufleute, Händler, Fergen, Schiffsherren und die, so die Schiffe machen, und deine Hantierer und alle deine Kriegsleute und alles Volk in dir mitten auf dem Meer umkommen werden zur
