Ezekiel 26:7-12
Ezekiel 26:7-12 The Passion Translation (TPT)
“Lord YAHWEH says to Tyre: “Look! I will bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the world’s most powerful king, sweeping down from the north to destroy you with horses, chariots, cavalry, and an enormous army. His armies will massacre your settlements on the mainland. They will lay siege to you and construct towers to attack you. They will build siege-ramps against you and lay siege to you with interlocking shields over their heads. His soldiers will pummel your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers with iron bars. You’ll be covered with dust from their many horses and chariots. Your walls will shake at the rumble of their chariot wheels. His thundering horses will make your walls tremble as they storm through your gates and breach your walls. With galloping horses they will trample through every street and slaughter your people with the sword! They will throw your mighty pillars to the ground. Your enemies will take for themselves your valuable possessions and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. And they will hurl the rubble and timber into the sea.
Ezekiel 26:7-14 The Message (MSG)
“GOD, the Master, says: Look! Out of the north I’m bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a king’s king, down on Tyre. He’ll come with chariots and horses and riders—a huge army. He’ll massacre your surrounding villages and lay siege to you. He’ll build siege ramps against your walls. A forest of shields will advance against you! He’ll pummel your walls with his battering rams and shatter your towers with his iron weapons. You’ll be covered with dust from his horde of horses—a thundering herd of war horses pouring through the breaches, pulling chariots. Oh, it will be an earthquake of an army and a city in shock! Horses will stampede through the streets. Your people will be slaughtered and your huge pillars strewn like matchsticks. The invaders will steal and loot—all that wealth, all that stuff! They’ll knock down your fine houses and dump the stone and timber rubble into the sea. And your parties, your famous good-time parties, will be no more. No more songs, no more lutes. I’ll reduce you to an island of bare rock, good for nothing but drying fishnets. You’ll never be rebuilt. I, GOD, have said so. Decree of GOD, the Master.
Ezekiel 26:7-12 King James Version (KJV)
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.

He will slay your daughters on the mainland with the sword; and he will make siege walls against you, cast up a ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you. The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. Because of the multitude of his horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of cavalry and wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached. With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will come down to the ground. Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your merchandise, break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses, and throw your stones and your timbers and your debris into the water.

He will raise his shields against you. He will bring logs to pound through your city walls, and he will break down your towers with his iron bars. His horses will be so many that they will cover you with their dust. Your walls will shake at the noise of horsemen, wagons, and chariots. The king of Babylon will enter your city gates as men enter a city where the walls are broken through. The hoofs of his horses will run over your streets. He will kill your army with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall down to the ground. Also, his men will take away your riches and will steal the things you sell. They will break down your walls and destroy your nice houses. They will throw your stones, wood, and trash into the sea.
