Context of Ezekiel 26:11
9He will thrust his battering engines against your walls. He will tear down your towers with his weapons. 10You will be covered with dust from the multitude of his horses. At the noise of the horsemen, wheels and chariots, your walls will shake, when he enters your gates, as men enter a breached city. With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will come down to the ground. 12They will rob your riches and plunder your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your fine houses. They will cast your stones and your lumber and your dust into the midst of the sea. 13I will put an end to the sound of your songs. The sound of your lyres will no longer be heard.
