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:

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

“Jerusalem has fallen!
It used to be powerful,
    a center of trade.
Now the city is shattered,
    and we will take its place.”
