For the Lord GOD says this: "Behold, I am going to bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^(C1)king of kings, with horses, ^(C2)chariots, cavalry, and ^(F1)a great army.

"He will kill your daughters ^(F1)on the mainland with the sword; and he will make ^(C1)siege walls against you, pile up an ^(C2)assault ramp against you, and raise up a large shield against you.

"And he will direct the blow of his battering rams against your walls, and he will tear down your towers with his ^(F1)axes.

"Because of the multitude of his ^(C1)horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will ^(C2)shake from the noise of cavalry, ^(F1)wagons, and chariots when he ^(C3)enters your gates as warriors enter a city that is breached.

"With the hoofs of his ^(C1)horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong ^(F1)pillars will ^(C2)go down to the ground.

"Also they will take your riches as spoils and plunder your ^(C1)merchandise, ^(C2)tear down your walls and destroy your ^(C3)delightful houses, and ^(F1)throw your stones, your timbers, and your debris ^(C4)into the water.
