EZEKIEL 26:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;”
Then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the world below, in the places that are desolate, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you are not inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living, the judgment moves from physical destruction to eschatological judgment, placing Tyre among the dead in Sheol alongside other ancient civilizations that have perished. The contrast between desolation below and 'beauty in the land of the living' suggests that God's restoration of the world will exclude Tyre from participation in renewed creation. This theological vision integrates Tyre's judgment into a comprehensive narrative of cosmos-wide restoration.
