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.
7
For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring on Tzor Nevukhadretztzar king of Bavel, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people.
8
He shall kill with the sword your daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
