Ezekiel 26:3-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. therefore thus says the Lord God:See! I am coming against you, Tyre;I will churn up against you many nations,just as the sea churns up its waves.

4. They will destroy the walls of Tyreand tear down its towers;I will scrape off its debrisand leave it a bare rock.

5. It will become a place for drying netsin the midst of the sea.For I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God:she will become plunder for the nations.

6. Her daughter cities on the mainlandwill be slaughtered by the sword;then they shall know that I am the Lord.

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.
