Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ezekiel 26
¹ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
² "Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ’Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’
³ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ’Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
⁴ And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
⁵ It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the Lord God; ’it shall become plunder for the nations.
⁶ Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’
⁷ "For thus says the Lord God: ’Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.
⁸ He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a defense against you.
⁹ He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
¹⁰ Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached.
¹¹ With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.
