Ezekiel 26:4-12

4They will 1destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers; and I will sweep her debris away from her and make her a bare rock. 5She will become a dry place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord God; ‘and she will become 2plunder for the nations. 6Also her 3daughters who are 4on the mainland will be killed by the sword, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”

7For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I am going to bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 5king of kings, with horses, 6chariots, cavalry, and 7a great army. 8He will kill your daughters 8on the mainland with the sword; and he will make 9siege walls against you, pile up an 10assault ramp against you, and raise up a large shield against you. 9And he will direct the blow of his battering rams against your walls, and he will tear down your towers with his 11axes. 10Because of the multitude of his 12horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will 13shake from the noise of cavalry, 14wagons, and chariots when he 15enters your gates as warriors enter a city that is breached. 11With the hoofs of his 16horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong 17pillars will 18go down to the ground. 12Also they will take your riches as spoils and plunder your 19merchandise, 20tear down your walls and destroy your 21delightful houses, and 22throw your stones, your timbers, and your debris 23into the water.
