* And it came to pass in the eleventh #H6240year , in the first day of the month , that the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem , Aha , she is broken that was the gates of the people : she is turned unto me : I shall be replenished , now she is laid waste : * Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ; Behold , I am against thee , O Tyrus , and will cause many nations to come up against thee , as the sea causeth his waves to come up . * 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 . * 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 . * And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword ; and they shall know that I am the LORD . * 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 . * 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 . * And he shall set engines of war against thy walls , and with his axes he shall break down thy towers . * 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 sha #ar #, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach . * 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 . * 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 . * And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease ; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard . * And I will make thee like the top of a rock : thou shalt be a place to spread # nets upon ; thou shalt be built no more : for I the LORD have spoken it , saith the Lord GOD .
