Ezekiel 26:8

A Prophecy against Tyre

7For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.8He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.9He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.
