3 “Therefore, this is what the Sovereign lord says: I am your enemy, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the waves of the sea crashing against your shoreline.
4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down its towers. I will scrape away its soil and make it a bare rock!
5 It will be just a rock in the sea, a place for fishermen to spread their nets, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign lord. Tyre will become the prey of many nations,
6 and its mainland villages will be destroyed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the lord.
7 “This is what the Sovereign lord says: From the north I will bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon against Tyre. He is king of kings and brings his horses, chariots, charioteers, and great army.
8 First he will destroy your mainland villages. Then he will attack you by building a siege wall, constructing a ramp, and raising a roof of shields against you.
9 He will pound your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers with sledgehammers.
