Ezekiel 26

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 26 of 48

1 And it was in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha! She is shattered, the doors of the peoples; she has turned to me, I shall be filled, she is laid waste.

3 So the Lord Jehovah says this, Behold, I am against you, O Tyre. And I will cause many nations to go up against you, as the sea causes its waves to go up.
