In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 'Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare; yet he got no wages nor his army from Tyre, for the labor that he expended on her, introducing a historical note about the Babylonian siege of Tyre and Nebuchadnezzar's reward. Despite the extraordinary expenditure of effort (heads made bald, shoulders rubbed raw), Tyre remained intact and Nebuchadnezzar received no plunder or tribute. This apparent historical failure requires explanation from a theological perspective.
