Ezekiel 26:7

Verse 7 of 21. The 26th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

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

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

5She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.

6Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’

7“For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.

8He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.

9He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.

10By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open.

11He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.
