3
So this is what the Almighty LORD says: I am against you, Tyre. I will bring many nations against you as the waves on the sea rise.
4
They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down its towers. Then I will sweep up the dust and turn Tyre into a bare rock.
5
It will become a place by the sea where people spread their fishing nets. I have spoken, declares the Almighty LORD. It will become a prize for the nations.
6
The people in the villages and on the mainland will die in battle. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
7
"This is what the Almighty LORD says: From the north I'm going to bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon against you, Tyre. He is the greatest king. He will bring horses, chariots, war horses, many people, and many troops.
8
He will destroy the villages on your mainland. He will set up blockades, put up dirt ramps, and raise his shields against you.
9
He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and he will cut down your towers with his axes.
10
He will have so many horses that their dust will cover you. The noise from the war horses, wagon wheels, and chariots will shake your walls when he enters your gates. He will enter as people enter a conquered city.
11
With his horses' hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people in battle, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.
12
His troops will loot your riches and take your goods as prizes. They will destroy your walls and tear down your delightful homes. They will throw your stones, wood, and soil into the water.
13
"I will put a stop to your noisy songs, and the music from your harps will no longer be heard.
