3 The Lord and King says, "But I am against you, Tyre. I will bring many nations against you. They will come in like the waves of the sea.
4 They will destroy your walls. They will pull your towers down. I will clear away the stones of your broken-down buildings. I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock.
5 "Out in the Mediterranean Sea your island city will become a place to spread fishnets. I have spoken," announces the Lord and King. "The nations will take you and everything you have.
6 Your settlements on the coast will be destroyed by war. Then you will know that I am the Lord."
7 The Lord and King says, "From the north I am going to bring Nebuchadnezzar against Tyre. He is king of Babylonia. He is the greatest king of all. He will come with horses and chariots. Horsemen and a great army will be brought along with him.
8 "He will go to war against you. He will destroy your settlements on the coast. He will bring in war machines to attack you. A ramp will be built up to your walls. He will use his shields against you.
9 He will use huge logs to knock your walls down. He will destroy your towers with his weapons.
