Ezekiel 26:4-12
4They will 1destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock. 5She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord God, ‘and she will become 2spoil for the nations. 6Also her 3daughters who are 4on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
7For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 5king of kings, with horses, 6chariots, cavalry and 7a great army. 8He will slay your daughters 8on the mainland with the sword; and he will make 9siege walls against you, cast up a 10ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you. 9The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his 11axes he will break down your towers. 10Because of the multitude of his 12horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will 13shake at the noise of cavalry and 14wagons and chariots when he 15enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. 11With the hoofs of his 16horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will 17come down to the ground. 12Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your 18merchandise, 19break down your walls and destroy your 20pleasant houses, and 21throw your stones and your timbers and your debris 22into the water.
