New International Version

Ezekiel 26:8-15 New International Version (NIV)

8. He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp up to your walls and raise his shields against you.

9. He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.

10. His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.

11. The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

12. They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.

13. I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more.

14. I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.

15. “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands tremble at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan and the slaughter takes place in you?
