me from the Lord Son of man.
Turn and face the land of am.
Amen and prophesy against its people.
Give the Ammonites this message
from the sovereign Lord.
Hear the word of the sovereign Lord,
because you cheered when my temple was
defiled, mocked Israel in her desolation.
Laughed at Judah as she
went away into exile.
I will allow nomads from the eastern
deserts to overrun your country.
They will set up their camps among you
and pitch their tents on your land.
They will harvest all your fruit and
drink the milk from your livestock.
And I will turn the city of Rabba
into a pasture for camels and all
the land of the Ammonites into a
resting place for sheep and goats.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
Because you clapped and danced and
cheered with glee at the destruction
of my people, I will raise my
fist of judgment against you.
I will give you as
plunder to many nations.
I will cut you off from being a
nation and destroy you completely.
Then you'll know that I am the Lord.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
Because the people of Moab have said that
Judah is just like all the other nations.
I will open up their Eastern flank and
wipe out their glorious frontier towns.
Beth Esmo bail me on and Ky tha and I will
hand Moab over to Nomads from the Eastern
deserts just as I handed over Amman.
Yes, the Ammonites will no longer
be counted among the nations.
In the same way, I will bring my
judgment down on the Moabites.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
The people of Edem have sinned greatly
by avenging themselves against the
people of Judah, therefore says

everything from Teman to Edin.

with anger, and Eden will know
that this vengeance is from me.
I, the sovereign Lord, have spoken.
This is what the sovereign Lord says.
The people of philistia have
acted against Judah, out of bitter
revenge and longstanding contempt.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.

against the land of the Philistines.
I will wipe out the CARite and utterly
destroy the people who live by the sea.
I will execute terrible
vengeance against them to punish
them for what they have done.
And when I have inflicted my revenge,
they will know that I am the Lord.
On February 3rd during the 12th year
of King Je Hoya Kin's captivity,
this message came to me from the Lord
Son of Man Tire has rejoiced over
the fall of Jerusalem saying, ha.
She who was the gateway to the
rich trade routes to the East has
been broken, and I am the heir
because she has been made desolate.
I will become wealthy.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
I am your enemy O tire, and I
will bring many nations against
you, like the waves of the sea
crashing against your shoreline.
They will destroy the walls of
tire and tear down its towers.
I will scrape away its soil
and make it a bare rock.
It'll be just a rock in the sea, a place
for fishermen to spread their nets for.
I have spoken, says the sovereign Lord.
Tire will become the prey of many
nations and its mainland villages
will be destroyed by the sword.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
This is what the sovereign
Lord says from the north.
I will bring King Nebuchadnezzar
of Babylon against Tyre.
He's king of kings and brings his horses
chariots, charioteers, and great army.
First, he will destroy
your mainland villages.
Then he will attack you by building a
siege wall, constructing a ramp, and
raising a roof of shields against you.
He will pound your walls with battering
rams and demolish your towers with
sledgehammers, the hooves of his
horses will choke the city with dust,
and the noise of the charioteers and
chariot wheels will shake your walls as
they storm through your broken gates.
His horsemen will trample
through every street in the city.
They will butcher your people and
your strong pillars will topple.
They will plunder all your riches and
merchandise and break down your walls.
They will destroy your lovely homes
and dump your stones and timbers,
and even your dust into the sea.
I will stop the music of your songs.
No more will the sound of harps
be heard among your people.
That will make your island a bear rock.
A place for fishermen
to spread their nets.
You will never be rebuilt
for I the Lord have spoken.
Yes, the sovereign Lord has spoken.
This is what the sovereign
Lord says to tire.
The whole coastline will tremble at
the sound of your fall as the screams
of the wounded echo in the continuing
slaughter, all the seaport rulers
will step down from their thrones.
Take off their royal robes
and beautiful clothing.
They will sit on the ground trembling
with horror at your destruction.
Then they will wail for you.
Singing this funeral song, oh,
famous Island City Once Ruler of the
Sea, how you have been destroyed.
Your people with their naval power
once spread Fear around the world.
Now the Coastlands Tremble at your fall.
The islands are dismayed as you disappear.
This is what the sovereign Lord says,
I will make tire an uninhabited ruin.
Like many others, I will bury you beneath
the terrible waves of enemy attack.
Great seas will swallow you.
I will send you to the pit to join
those who descended there long ago.
Your city will lie in ruins
buried beneath the earth.
Like those in the pit who have entered the
world of the dead, you will have no place
of respect here in the land of the living.
I will bring you to a terrible
end and you will exist.
No more.
You will be looked for, but
you will never again be found.
I the sovereign Lord have spoken than
this message came to me from the Lord,
son of man Sing a funeral song for
tire that mighty gateway to the sea.
The trading center of the world.
Give tire this message
from the sovereign Lord.
You boasted, OTTI.

Your builders made your beauty perfect.
You were like a great ship built
of the finest Cyprus from sinner.

Heron, Canna, Eden, Sheba, Asher, and
Kilm Mad came with their merchandise too.
They brought choice fabrics to trade.
Blue cloth, embroidery, and multicolored
carpets rolled up and bound with cords.
The ships of Tarshish
were your ocean caravans.
Your island warehouse
was filled to the brimm.
But look, your Osman have
taken you into stormy seas.
A mighty eastern gale has wrecked you.
In the heart of the
sea, everything is lost.
Your riches and wares.
Your sailors and pilots, your ship
builders, merchants, and warriors.
On the day of your ruin, everyone on
board sinks into the depths of the sea.
Your cities by the sea tremble.
As your pilots cry out and terror,

The sailors and pilots stand on the shore.
They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly.
They throw dust on their
heads and roll in ashes.
They shave their heads in grief for

They weep for you With bitter anguish
and deep mourning as they wail and
mourn over you, they sing This sad
funeral song Was there Ever Such a city
as tire Now, now silent at the bottom
of the sea, the merchandise you traded
satisfied the desires of many nations.
Kings at the ends of the earth
were enriched by your trade.
Now you are erected ship broken
at the bottom of the sea.
All your merchandise and crew
have gone down with you all who
live along the coastlands are
appalled at your terrible fate.
Their kings are filled with horror
and look on with twisted faces.
The merchants among the nations shake
their heads at the side of you for
you have come to a horrible end.
Will exist no more.
Then this message came to me from the
Lord Son of man give the prince of tire
this message from the sovereign Lord.
In your great pride, you claim I am a God.
I sit on a divine throne in the heart of a
sea, but you are only a man and not a God.
Though you boast that you are a God.
You regard yourself as wiser than Daniel
and think no secret is hidden from you
with your wisdom and understanding,
you have amassed great wealth, gold
and silver for your treasuries.
Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich
and your riches have made you very proud.
Therefore, this is what the
sovereign Lord says because you
think you are as wise as a God.
I will now bring against you a foreign
army, the terror of the nations.
They will draw their swords against your
marvelous wisdom and defile your splendor.
They will bring you down to the pit
and you'll die in the heart of the sea.
Pierced with many wounds
will you then boast.
I am a God to those who kill you to them,
you will be no God, but merely a man.
You will die like an outcast
at the hands of foreigners.
I, the sovereign Lord have spoken.
Then this further message came to me
from the Lord, son of Man, sing this
funeral song for the king of tire.
Give him this message
from the sovereign Lord.
You were the model of perfection, full
of wisdom and exquisite and beauty.
You are in Eden, the garden of God.
Your clothing was adorned with every
precious stone, red, cornelian, pale,
green, parado, white moonstone, bluegreen
barrel, onyx, green, jasper, blue,
lapis, lly, turquoise and emerald.
All beautifully crafted for you and
sat on the finest gold they were given
to you on the day you were created.
I ordained and anointed you as
the mighty angelic guardian.
You had access to the Holy Mountain of
God and walked among the stones of fire.
You were blameless in all you did
from the day you were created until
the day evil was found in you.
Your rich commerce led you
to violence and you sinned.
So I banished you in disgrace
from the mountain of God.
I expelled you, almighty guardian from
your place among the stones of fire.
Your heart was filled with pride
because of all your beauty.
Your wisdom was corrupted
by your love of splendor.
So I threw you to the ground and exposed
you to the curious gaze of kings.
You defiled your sanctuaries with your
many sins and your dishonest trade.
So I brought fire out from
within you and it consumed you.
I reduced you to ashes on the ground.
In the sight of all who were watching, all
who knew, you are appalled at your fate.
You have come to a terrible
end and you will exist no more.
Then another message came to me from
the Lord, son of man, turn and face the
city of seiden and prophesy against it.
Give the people of sadden this
message from the sovereign Lord.
I am your enemy OC Sidon, and I will
reveal my glory by what I do to you
when I bring judgment against you
and reveal my holiness among you.
Everyone watching will
know that I am the Lord.
I will send a plague against you, and
blood will be spilled in your streets.
The attack will come from every
direction, and your people will
lie slaughtered within your walls.
Then everyone will know
that I am the Lord.
No longer will Israel's scornful
neighbors prick and tear at her
like briars and thorns for them.
They will know that I
am the sovereign Lord.
This is what the sovereign Lord
says The people of Israel will
again live in their own land.
The land I gave my servant Jacob for,
I will gather them from the distant
lands where I have scattered them.
I will reveal to the nations of the
world my holiness among my people.
They will live safely in Israel and
build homes and plant vineyards.
And when I punish the neighboring nations
that treated them with contempt, they
will know that I am the Lord their God.
On January 7th, during the 10th year
of King Je Jolla Kins captivity, this
message came to me from the Lord.
Son of man turn and face Egypt
and prophesy against Pharaoh, the
king, and all the people of Egypt.
Give them this message from the
sovereign Lord, I am your enemy.
Oh Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great
monster Lurking in the streams of the Nile
for you have said The Nile River is mine.
I made it for myself.
I will put hooks in your jaws
and drag you out on the land.
With fish sticking to your scales,
I will leave you and all your fish
stranded in the wilderness to die.
You will lie unburied on the open
ground for I have given you as
food to the wild animals and birds.
All the people of Egypt will know
that I and the Lord for to Israel.
You were just a staff made of reeds.
When Israel leaned on you, you splintered
and broke and stabbed her in the armpit.
When she put her weight on you, you
collapsed and her legs gave way.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
I will bring an army against you, O Egypt
and destroy both people and animals.
The land of Egypt will become a
desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians
will know that I and the Lord, because
you said the Nile River is mine.
I made it.
I am now the enemy of
both you and your river.
I will make the land of Egypt a
totally desolate wasteland from
Migdal to Aswan as far south as the
border of Ethiopia for 40 years.
Not a soul will pass that way.
Neither people nor animals.
It will be completely uninhabited.
I will make Egypt desolate and it will
be surrounded by other desolate nations.
Cities will be empty and desolate for 40
years surrounded by other ruined cities.
I will scatter the Egyptians to
distant lands, but this is what
the sovereign Lord also says.
At the end of the 40 years, I will bring
the Egyptians home again from the nations
to which they have been scattered.
I will restore the prosperity of
Egypt and bring its people back
to the land of Patros in Southern
Egypt from which they came.
But Egypt will remain an
unimportant minor kingdom.
It'll be the lowliest of all the
nations, never again great enough
to rise above its neighbors.
Then Israel will no longer be
tempted to trust in Egypt for help.
Egypt's shattered condition will
remind Israel of how sinful she
was to trust Egypt in earlier days.
Then Israel will know that
I am the sovereign Lord.
On April 26th, the first day of the
new year, during the 27th year of King
Je Hoya Kin's captivity, this message
came to me from the Lord Son of man.
The army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon
fought so hard against tire that the
warrior's heads were rubbed bare, and
their shoulders were raw and blistered y.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army won no plunder
to compensate them for all their work.
Therefore, this is what
the sovereign Lord says.
I will give the land of Egypt to
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
He will carry off its wealth, plundering
everything it has so he can pay his army.
Yes, I have given him the land of
Egypt as a reward for his work, says
the sovereign Lord, because he was
working for me when he destroyed tire.
The day will come when I will cause the
ancient glory of Israel to revive And then
Ezekiel, your words will be respected.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
