Ezekiel 26:7–12

⁷“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar^bn king of Babylon, king of kings,^o with horses and chariots,^p with horsemen and a great army. ⁸He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works^q against you, build a ramp^r up to your walls and raise his shields against you. ⁹He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.^{s 10}His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots^t when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. ¹¹The hooves^u of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars^v will fall to the ground.^{w 12}They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.^x
