therefore, Adonai ELOHIM says, 'Look, Tzor! I am against you. Just as the sea churns up its waves, I will churn up many nations against you.
4
They will destroy the walls of Tzor, they will demolish her towers. I will scrape its soil from her and reduce her to bare rock.
5
With the sea all around her, she will be a place for drying fish nets and a plunder for the nations. I have spoken,' says Adonai ELOHIM.
6
'Her daughters on the mainland will be put to death with the sword; then they will know that I am ADONAI.'
7
"For here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'I will bring upon Tzor, from the north, N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel, king of kings, with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a great and powerful army.
8
"'Your daughters on the mainland he will put to death with the sword. He will build siege-towers against you, he will build a ramp against you and raise a screen of shields against you.
9
He will pound your walls with his battering-rams and break down your towers with his axes.
10
His horses are so many that their dust will cover you. The thunder of cavalry, wagons and chariots will shake your walls, as he enters your gates, like men storming a city through a breach.
11
With the hoofs of his horses he will trample your streets. He will put your people to the sword and pull to the ground your massive standing-stones.
12
They will seize your wealth, loot your wares, break down your walls, destroy your fine houses; then they will throw your stones and timber and even your dust into the sea.
13
I will put an end to your singing, the sound of your lyres will be heard no more.
