 8Tus hijas que están en el campo matará á cuchillo; y pondrá contra ti ingenios, y fundará contra ti baluarte, y afirmará contra ti escudo.
 9Y pondrá contra ella arietes, contra tus muros, y tus torres destruirá con sus martillos.
 10Por la multitud de sus caballos te cubrirá el polvo de ellos: con el estruendo de los caballeros, y de las ruedas, y de los carros, temblarán tus muros, cuando entrare por tus puertas como por portillos de ciudad destruída.
 11Con las uñas de sus caballos hollará todas tus calles; á tu pueblo matará á cuchillo, y las estatuas de tu fortaleza caerán á tierra.
 12Y robarán tus riquezas, y saquearán tus mercaderías: y arruinarán tus muros, y tus casas preciosas destruirán; y pondrán tus piedras y tu madera y tu polvo en medio de las aguas. (Ez. 26:7‑12)

a great.Nebuchadnezzar was thirteen years employed in the siege. During this long siege, the soldiers must have endured great hardships; their heads would become bald by constantly wearing their helmets; and their shoulders be peeled by carrying materials to and from the works.yet.St. Jerome asserts, on the authority of the Assyrian histories, that when the Tyrians saw their city must fall, they put their most valuable effects on board their ships, and fled with them to the islands, and their colonies, "so that, the city being taken, Nebuchadnezzar found nothing worthy of his labour."
• {v.18-20} It naturally follows the burden of Tyre, for it represents Jehovah as balancing the vast expedition of Nebuchadnezzar on that hardly won city whose wealth in great part escaped his grasp with the conquest of Egypt, a rich booty to the conqueror and his greedy and before this disappointed host. No wonder the land of Egypt was to be long waste, though not forever. (“Notes on Ezekiel 29” by W. Kelly)

Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to doc hard service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he from Tyre no wages, nor his army, for the service that he had served against it.
