And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
“Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:’ therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; ‘Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.”                                                                      Ezekiel 26:1-6
