Ezekiel 26:2-4
New English Translation

2 “Son of man, because Tyre[a] has said about Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I will become rich,[b] now that she[c] has been destroyed,’ 3 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look,[d] I am against you,[e] O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil[f] from her and make her a bare rock.
