7. Indeed thus says the Lord God:I am bringing up against Tyrefrom the north, Nebuchadnezzar,King of Babylon, king of kings,with horses and chariots, with cavalry,and a mighty horde of troops.
8. Your daughter cities on the mainlandhe shall slay with the sword.He shall build a siege wall around you,throw up a ramp against you,and raise his shields about you.
9. He shall pound your walls with battering-ramsand break down your towers with his axes.
10. From the surging of his horseshe will cover you with dust;from the noise of warhorses,wheels and chariots.Your walls will shakewhen he enters your gates,even as one enters a city that is breached.
11. With the hooves of his horseshe will trample all your streets;Your people he will slay by the sword;your mighty pillars will collapse.
12. They shall plunder your wealthand pillage your goods;They will tear down your wallsand demolish your splendid houses.Your stones, timbers, and debristhey will cast into the sea.
