Ezekiel 26:7-14

English Standard Version

⁷ “For thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Behold, I will bring against Tyre ^(B)from the north Nebuchadnezzar^[a] king of Babylon, ^(C)king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers. ⁸ He will kill with the sword ^(D)your daughters on the mainland. ^(E)He will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise ^(F)a roof of shields against you. ^9 (G)He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. ¹⁰ His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached. ¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. ¹² They will plunder ^(H)your riches and loot ^(I)your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and ^(J)soil they will cast into the midst of the waters. ^13 (K)And I will stop the music of your songs, and ^(L)the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more. ^14 (M)I will make you a bare rock. ^(N)You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, ^(O)for I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
