Ezekiel 26:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 26:6

4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and ^amake her like the top of a rock.

5 It shall be a place for spreading nets ^ain the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the Lord God; ‘it shall become plunder for the nations.

6 Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. ^aThen they shall know that I am the Lord.’

7 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north ^aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^bking of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.

8 He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will ^aheap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a¹ defense against you.
