Ezekiel 26:5 in Context — Ezekiel 26

3 A cause de cela, ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’en veux à toi, Tyr! Je ferai monter contre toi des nations nombreuses, Comme la mer fait monter ses flots.

4 Elles détruiront les murs de Tyr, Elles abattront ses tours, Et j’en raclerai la poussière; Je ferai d’elle un rocher nu;

5 Elle sera dans la mer un lieu où l’on étendra les filets; Car j’ai parlé, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel. Elle sera la proie des nations.

6 Ses filles sur son territoire Seront tuées par l’épée. Et ils sauront que je suis l’Éternel.

7 Car ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’amène du septentrion contre Tyr Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, le roi des rois, avec des chevaux, des chars, des cavaliers, et une grande multitude de peuples.
