¹² And aliens, ^(A)the most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen ^(B)on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie ^(C)broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

¹² By the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them ^(A)the most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall.

⁷ “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, ^(A)a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, ^(B)and it had ten horns.

⁷ “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north ^(A)Nebuchadnezzar^[a] king of Babylon, ^(B)king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people. ⁸ He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will ^(C)heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a ^[b]defense against you. ⁹ He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. ¹⁰ Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. ¹¹ With the hooves of his ^(D)horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground. ¹² They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the ^(E)midst of the water. ^13 (F)I will put an end to the sound of ^(G)your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. ^14 (H)I will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God.
