2 "Son of man, because * 1Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, 'Aha, the 2gateway of the peoples is broken; it has 3opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,'
3 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up 4many nations against you, as the 5sea brings up its waves.
4 'They will 6destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock.
5 'She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,' declares the Lord GOD, 'and she will become 7spoil for the nations.
6 'Also her 8daughters who are on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.' "
7 For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 9king of kings, with horses, 10chariots, cavalry and a great army *.
8 "He will slay your daughters on the mainland with the sword; and he will make 11siege walls against you, cast up a 12ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you.
9 "The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
10 "Because of the multitude of his 13horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will 14shake at the noise of cavalry and wagons and chariots when he 15enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.
11 "With the hoofs of his 16horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will 17come down to the ground.
12 "Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your 18merchandise, 19break down your walls and destroy your 20pleasant houses, and throw your stones and your timbers and your debris 21into the water.
