Ezekiel 26:7-10

7 For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 1king of kings, with horses, 2chariots, cavalry and a great army *.
8 "He will slay your daughters on the mainland with the sword; and he will make 3siege walls against you, cast up a 4ramp 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 5horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will 6shake at the noise of cavalry and wagons and chariots when he 7enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.
