Ezekiel 26:9-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. He will use huge logs to knock your walls down. He will destroy your towers with his weapons.

10. "He will have so many horses that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will shake because of the noise of his war horses, wagons and chariots. He will enter your gates, just as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.

11. The hoofs of his horses will pound in your streets. He will kill your people with swords. Your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

12. "His men will take away from you your wealth and anything else you have. They will pull your walls down. They will completely destroy your fine houses. They will throw the stones and lumber of your broken-down buildings into the sea.

13. "I will put an end to your noisy songs. No one will hear the music of your harps anymore.

14. I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock. You will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt. I have spoken. I am the Lord," announces the Lord and King.
