New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 26
20 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.
21 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!”
Ezekiel 27
1 Then this message came to me from the LORD:
2 “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre,
3 that mighty gateway to the sea, the trading center of the world. Give Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD: “You boasted, O Tyre, ‘My beauty is perfect!’
4 You extended your boundaries into the sea. Your builders made your beauty perfect.
5 You were like a great ship built of the finest cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 They carved your oars from the oaks of Bashan. Your deck of pine from the coasts of Cyprus was inlaid with ivory.
7 Your sails were made of Egypt’s finest linen, and they flew as a banner above you. You stood beneath blue and purple awnings made bright with dyes from the coasts of Elishah.
8 Your oarsmen came from Sidon and Arvad; your helmsmen were skilled men from Tyre itself.
9 Wise old craftsmen from Gebal did the caulking. Ships from every land came with goods to barter for your trade.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
