Ezekiel 26:1-6

1 It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, because Tzor has said against Yerushalayim, Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:

3 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I am against you, Tzor, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.

4 They shall destroy the walls of Tzor, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.

5 She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.

6 Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
