Ezekiel26:11
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets, he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground .
In proud, stately, and menacing posture shall the King of Babylon ride through all the streets of thy City, to the grief, and sorrow of the Tyrians, and as he, so shall his Troops do too.
In the Wars some of thy people shall fall by his sword, but that no wonder, I rather think that 'tis meant of giving judgment against some of the most valiant, constant, and active Citizens, which were the cause of the Cities holding so long out against Nebuchadnezzar, as he did with some of the Nobles of Ierusalem.
Bastions, or Forts about the City, or Triumphal Arches built by Tyrians, or Statues erected in honour to some eminent Citizens, or to the Kings of Egypt, their antient Allies; Enemies to the Chaldaeans, or the Statues of their Gods Hercules, and Apollo chain'd, that neither in ill nature, and angry, nor yet charmed with other mens songs, should depart, and leave their Pupils without a guard.
Shall be all cast down together.
