Ezekiel 26:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Judgment on the City of Tyre

26 ^(A) Eleven years^[a] after King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been led away as prisoners to Babylonia, the Lord spoke to me on the first day of the month. He said:

² Ezekiel, son of man, the people of the city of Tyre^[b] have celebrated Jerusalem's defeat by singing,

³ Because the people of Tyre have sung that song, I have the following warning for them: I am the Lord God, and I am now your enemy! I will send nations to attack you, like waves crashing against the shore.
