Eze 26:7-21, 29:18 | ESV | STEP | For thus says the Lord God : Behold , I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon , king of kings , with horses and chariots , and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers .

7 “For thus says the Lord God: ^aBehold, I will bring against Tyre ^bfrom the north Nebuchadnezzar ^{▼▼Hebrew Nebuchadrezzar; so throughout Ezekiel} king of Babylon, ^dking of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers. 8 He will kill with the sword ^eyour daughters on the mainland. ^fHe will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise ^ga roof of shields against you. 9 ^hHe will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. 10 His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached. 11 With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. 12 They will plunder ⁱyour riches and loot ^jyour merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and ^ksoil they will cast into the midst of the waters. 13 ^lAnd I will stop the music of your songs, and ^mthe sound of your lyres shall be heard no more. 14 ⁿI will make you a bare rock. ^oYou shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, ^pfor I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God.

15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not ^qthe coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, ^rwhen the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? 16 Then all ^sthe princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and ^tremove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; ^uthey will sit on the ground and ^vtremble every moment and ^wbe appalled at you. 17 And they will ^xraise a lamentation over you and say to you,

“‘How you have perished,
you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
^ywho was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants ^zimposed their terror
on all her inhabitants!
18 Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall,
and the coastlands that are on the sea
are dismayed at your passing.’
19 “For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, ^aawhen I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you, 20 then ^abI will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, ^acwith those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty ^adin the land of the living. 21 I will bring you ^aeto a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. ^afThough you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 29:18

18 ^ag“Son of man, ^ahNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against her.
