25:15. Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken
vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying
and satisfying old enmities:
25:16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my
hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy
the remnant of the sea coast.
25:17. And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in
fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my
vengeance upon them.
Ezechiel Chapter 26
A prophecy of the destruction of the famous city of Tyre by
Nabuchodonosor.
26:1. And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the
month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
26:2. Son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, the gates of
the people are broken, she is turned to me: I shall be filled, now she
is laid waste.
26:3. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, O
Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up to thee, as the waves of
the sea rise up.
26:4. And they shall break down the walls of Tyre, and destroy the
towers thereof: and I will scrape her dust from her, and make her like a
smooth rock.
26:5. She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of the sea,
because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil
to the nations.
26:6. Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be slain by the
sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
26:7. For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring against Tyre
Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with
horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people.
26:8. Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword:
and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round
about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee.
26:9. And he shall set engines of war and battering rams against thy
walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms.
26:10. By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover
thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and wheels,
and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of
a city that is destroyed.
26:11. With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets,
thy people he shall kill with the sword, and thy famous statues shall
fall to the ground.
26:12. They shall waste thy riches, they shall make a spoil of thy
merchandise: and they shall destroy thy walls, and pull down thy fine
houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber, and thy dust in
the midst of the waters.
26:13. And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease, and the
sound of thy harps shall be heard no more.
26:14. And I will make thee like a naked rock, thou shalt be a drying
place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken
it, saith the Lord God.
26:15. Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the islands shake at
the sound of thy fall, and the groans of thy slain when they shall be
killed in the midst of thee?
26:16. Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their
thrones: and take off their robes, and cast away their broidered
garments, and be clothed with astonishment: they shall sit on the
ground, and with amazement shall wonder at thy sudden fall.
