^26:7“For this is what the sovereign Lord says: Take note that¹⁰ I am about to bring King Nebuchadrezzar¹¹ of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people. ^26:8He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you. ^26:9He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons.¹²^26:10He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses.¹³ Your walls will shake from the noise of the horsemen, wheels, and chariots when he enters your gates like those who invade through a city’s broken walls.¹⁴^26:11With his horses’ hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will tumble down to the ground. ^26:12They will steal your wealth and loot your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious¹⁵ homes. Your stones, your trees, and your soil he will throw¹⁶ into the water.¹⁷
