Ezekiel

Ezekiel 26:7–10

⁷For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar^b 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. ¹⁰His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust.

When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
