⁶ And Tyre’s daughters [her towns and villages on the mainland] in the level place shall be slain by the sword, and they shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].

⁷ For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will bring from the north upon Tyre ^[a]Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, with horses and chariots and with horsemen and a host of many people.

⁸ He shall slay with the sword your daughters [the towns and villages] in the level area [on the mainland], and he shall make a fortified wall against you and cast up a siege mound against you and raise up a roof of bucklers and shields as a defense against you.
