Ezekiel 26
HALLEzekiel 26:2
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste.
Because Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, in rejoicing at her ruin, Aha, she, that was the most populous and best traded city of the east, is now laid waste: all her traffic and wealth shall now be turned unto me; I shall be enriched in her spoil and decay.
Ezekiel 26:4
I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
I will cause, not only her rich treasures to be carried away, but her very soil and earth shall be taken off and removed, that she may be left as barren as the rock.
Ezekiel 26:5
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the sea.
It shall no more be a frequented city, but a waste place, for fishermen to lay abroad their nets in.
Ezekiel 26:15
Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
Shall not all the sea coasts round about be afraid and amazed, at the fame of thy destruction?
Ezekiel 26:16
Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling.
Then all the princes of those maritime regions, on all sides, shall be disheartened with the news of thy ruin; and shall lay aside their pomp and jollity, and shall be wholly possessed with fear and trembling.
Ezekiel 26:19
When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee.
When I shall bring the Babylonians upon thee, who, like a deluge of waters, shall violently break in upon thee and swallow thee up.
Ezekiel 26:20
With the people of old time, &c., and I shall set glory in the land of the living.
With those people, which are long since dead and gone; then I shall, at the last, restore the former glory, with an increase thereof, unto the remainders of my Church, here upon earth.
Ezekiel 26:21
I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more.
I will make thee a terrible example to all cities and countries, in my utter destroying thee.
