1. On February 3, during the twelfth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message came to me from the LORD.
2. Son of man, Tyre has rejoiced over the fall of Jerusalem, saying, 'Ha! She who was the gateway to the rich trade routes to the east has been broken, and I am the heir! Because she has been made desolate, I will be come wealthy!
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 awith sledgehammers.
10. The hooves of his horses will choke the city with dust, and the noise of the charioteers and chariot wheels will shake your walls as they storm through your broken gates.
11. His horseman will trample through every street in the city. They will butcher your people, and your strong pillars will topple.

12. "They will plunder all your riches and merchandise and break down your walls. They will destroy your lovely homes and dump your stones and timbers and even your dust into the sea.
13. I will stop the music of our songs. No more will the sound of harps be heard among your people.
14. I will make your island a bare rock, a place for fishermen to spread their nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken. Yes, the Sovereign LORD has spoken!
Ezekiel 16:1-14 NLT
