Ezekiel 26:5-7
New English Translation
5 She will be a place where fishing nets are spread, surrounded by the sea. For I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder for the nations, 6 and her daughters[a] who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take note that[b] I am about to bring King Nebuchadrezzar[c] of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people.
