Ezekiel 26:7-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ For this is what the Lord God says: “See, I am about to bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, king of kings,^(A) against Tyre from the north with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a vast company of troops. ⁸ He will slaughter your villages on the mainland with the sword. He will set up siege works against you,^(B) and will build a ramp^[a] and raise a wall of shields against you. ⁹ He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his iron tools. ¹⁰ His horses will be so numerous that their dust will cover you. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots. ¹¹ He will trample all your streets with the hooves of his horses.^(C) He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. ¹² They will take your wealth as spoil and plunder your merchandise.^(D) They will also demolish your walls and tear down your beautiful homes. Then they will throw your stones, timber, and soil into the water.
