7. The Lord God proclaims:I’m bringing Nebuchadrezzar against Tyre,the king of Babylon from the north,the greatest of all kings,with horses, chariots, and charioteers,an assembly, a great army.
8. The towns around you he will destroy with the sword.Then he will build towers against you,erect siege ramps against you,and set up shields.
9. He will pound his battering ram against your walls;with crowbars he will tear down your towers.
10. The dust from all his horses will cover youwhen he enters your gatesas one who enters a breached city.Your walls will quakeat the thundering of the charioteers and chariot wheels.
11. His horses’ hooves will trample all your courtyards;he will cut down your people with the sword,and the monuments to your strength he will bring down to the ground.
12. They will destroy your wealth, plunder your goods,tear down your walls, and raze your fine houses.Your stone, lumber, and rubble they will dump into the sea.
13. I will bring an end to your cacophonous songs;the sound of your lyres will never be heard again.
