Ezekiel 26:5-14

5It will become a place by the sea where people spread their fishing nets. I have spoken, declares the Almighty Lord. It will become a prize for the nations.

6The people in the villages and on the mainland will die in battle. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

7“This is what the Almighty Lord says: From the north I’m going to bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon against you, Tyre. He is the greatest king. He will bring horses, chariots, war horses, many people, and many troops.

8He will destroy the villages on your mainland. He will set up blockades, put up dirt ramps, and raise his shields against you.

9He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and he will cut down your towers with his axes.

10He will have so many horses that their dust will cover you. The noise from the war horses, wagon wheels, and chariots will shake your walls when he enters your gates. He will enter as people enter a conquered city.

11With his horses’ hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people in battle, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

12His troops will loot your riches and take your goods as prizes. They will destroy your walls and tear down your delightful homes. They will throw your stones, wood, and soil into the water.

13“I will put a stop to your noisy songs, and the music from your harps will no longer be heard.

14I will turn you into bare rock. You will become a place to spread fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt. I, the Lord, have spoken, declares the Almighty Lord.
