Context of Ezekiel 26:11

9He will direct the [shocking] blow of his battering rams against your walls, and he will tear down your towers with his crowbars. 10Because of the great number of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls [O Tyre] will shake from the noise of the horsemen and the wagons and the chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. With the hoofs of his horses Nebuchadnezzar will trample all your streets; with the sword he will kill your people, and your strong pillars (obelisks) will fall to the ground. 12Also they will take your riches as spoil and plunder your merchandise, and tear down your walls and your pleasant houses, and throw your stones and your timber and the debris [from your city] out in the water. 13So I will silence your songs, and the sound of your lyres will no longer be heard.
