by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul
to destroy with perpetual enmity;
025:016 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out
my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites,
and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
025:017 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes;
and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my
vengeance on them.
026:001 It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month,
that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
026:002 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha,
she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me;
I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:
026:003 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I am against you,
Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you,
as the sea causes its waves to come up.
026:004 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.
026:005 She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst
of the sea; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh;
and she shall become a spoil to the nations.
026:006 Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword:
and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
026:007 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will bring
on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings,
from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen,
and a company, and much people.
026:008 He shall kill with the sword your daughters in the field;
and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound
against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
026:009 He shall set his battering engines against your walls,
and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
026:010 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you:
your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen,
and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter
into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is
made a breach.
026:011 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets;
he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars
of your strength shall go down to the ground.
026:012 They shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey
of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls,
and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones
and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.
026:013 I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound
of your harps shall be no more heard.
026:014 I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place
for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more:
