Ezekiel 26:5-14

5On that rock, in the middle of the sea, men will dry the nets that they use to catch fish. That is what I say, says the Almighty Lord. Armies from other nations will take Tyre's valuable things for themselves.

6Soldiers will use their swords to kill people in the small towns on the coast near Tyre. Then people will know that I am the Lord.

7This is what the Almighty Lord says: Listen! I will bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to attack Tyre from the north. He is a powerful king. He will bring his great army with soldiers on horses and chariots.

8His soldiers will destroy your towns and villages on the coast. They will build heaps of earth around your walls. They will hold up their shields like a wall as they attack you.

9They will use heavy pieces of wood to knock down the city's walls. They will use their weapons to knock down the strong towers.

10King Nebuchadnezzar's army will have many horses. As they attack you, the dirt from their feet will cover you. The noise of the riders on the horses and the chariots' wheels will cause the city's walls to shake. They will break through the city's gates and walls.

11The horses will run along all the streets. The soldiers will kill your people with their swords. The strong pillars of your buildings will fall to the ground.

12The soldiers will take your riches and valuable things for themselves. They will break down your walls. They will destroy your beautiful homes. They will throw into the sea all the wood and stones that remain from your buildings.

13I will stop the noise of your songs. Nobody will hear the sound of your harps any longer.

14Tyre will be a rock in the sea with no buildings on it. Men will dry their nets on it. Nobody will never build the city again. That is what I, the Almighty Lord, have said. So it will certainly happen!
