Ezekiel 26:1–9
1In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,↗
2“Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’↗
3therefore the Lord GOD says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.↗
4They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.↗
5She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.↗
6Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’↗
7“For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.↗
8He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.↗
9He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.↗
