Ezekiel 26:4-12
New International Version
Ezekiel 26:4-12
New International Version
4 They will destroy(A) the walls of Tyre(B) and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. 5 Out in the sea(C) she will become a place to spread fishnets,(D) for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder(E) for the nations,(F) 6 and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar[a](G) king of Babylon, king of kings,(H) with horses and chariots,(I) with horsemen and a great army. 8 He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works(J) against you, build a ramp(K) up to your walls and raise his shields against you. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.(L) 10 His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots(M) when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. 11 The hooves(N) of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars(O) will fall to the ground.(P) 12 They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.(Q)

Ezekiel 26:4-12
King James Version
Ezekiel 26:4-12
King James Version
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 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 the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
