Ezekiel 26:2

Proclamation Against Tyre

1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, ^abecause Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ^b‘Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’

3 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.

4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and ^amake her like the top of a rock.

5 It shall be a place for spreading nets ^ain the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the Lord God; ‘it shall become plunder for the nations.

6 Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. ^aThen they shall know that I am the Lord.’

7 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north ^aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^bking of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.

Ezekiel 26:2

Tyrus hath said - From this it would appear that Jerusalem had been taken, which was on the fourth month of this year; but it is possible that the prophet speaks of the event beforehand.

She is broken that was the gates of the people - Jerusalem, a general emporium.

I shall be replenished - The merchandise that went to Jerusalem will come to me, (to Tyre.).
