A Prophecy Against Tyre
1In the eleventh month of the twelfth Probable reading of the original Hebrew text; Masoretic Text does not have month of the twelfth. year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
2“Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’
3therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves.
4They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock.
5Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD . She will become plunder for the nations,
6and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD .
