they fall by the sword. 14And I will lay My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to Mine anger and according to My fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.
15Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with disdain of soul to destroy, for the old hatred; 16therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will stretch out My hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea-coast. 17And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.'
26And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: 2'Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem:
- Aha, she is broken that was the gate of the peoples;
- She is turned unto me;
- I shall be filled with her that is laid waste;
- 3Therefore thus saith the Lord God:
- Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre,
- And will cause many nations to come up against thee,
- As the sea causeth its waves to come up.
- 4And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre,
- And break down her towers;
- I will also scrape her dust from her,
- And make her a bare rock.
- 5She shall be a place for the spreading of nets
- In the midst of the sea;
- For I have spoken it, saith the Lord God;
- And she shall become a spoil to the nations.
- 6And her daughters that are in the field
- Shall be slain with the sword;
- And they shall know that I am the Lord.
7For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people.
- 8He shall slay with the sword
- Thy daughters in the field;
- And he shall make forts against thee,
- And cast up a mound against thee,
- And set up bucklers against thee.
- 9And he shall set his battering engines
- Against thy walls,
- And with his axes
- He shall break down thy towers.
- 10By reason of the abundance of his horses
- Their dust shall cover thee;
- At the noise of the horsemen,
- And of the wheels, and of the chariots,
- Thy walls shall shake,
- When he shall enter into thy gates,
- As men enter into a city
- Wherein is made a breach.
- 11With the hoofs of his horses
- Shall he tread down all thy streets;
- He shall slay thy people with the sword,
- And the pillars of thy strength
- Shall go down to the ground.
- 12And they shall make a spoil of thy riches,
- And make a prey of thy merchandise;
- And they shall break down thy walls,
