You saved gold and silver in your treasuries. 5 Because of your great skill in trading, you’ve made yourself very wealthy. You have become arrogant because of your wealth. 6 “‘This is what Adonay Yahweh says: You think you are wise like Elohim. 7 That is why I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless foreigners among the nations.

Say to Tyre, ‘This is what Adonay Yahweh says: Tyre, you used to brag about your perfect beauty. 4 Your home is the sea. “‘Your builders made your beauty perfect. 5 Your builders made all your boards from pine trees on Mount Hermon. They took cedar trees from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6 They made your oars from oaks in Bashan. They made your deck from pine trees on the shores of Cyprus. It had ivory set in it. 7 Your sails were made out of fine embroidered linen from Egypt. They were like your flags. Your awnings were violet and purple. They came from the coasts of Elishah. 8 People from Sidon and Arvad used to row you. Your own skilled people were your sailors. 9 Master shipbuilders from Gebal went inside you to caulk your seams. All the ships on the sea and their sailors docked alongside you to trade with you. 10 People from Persia, Lud, and Put were soldiers in your army. They hung their shields and helmets inside you. Their victories made you look good. 11 “‘People from Arvad and Helech[a] were guards all around your walls. People from Gammad guarded your towers. They hung their shields all around your walls, making your beauty perfect. 12 “‘People from Tarshish traded with you because you were so very rich. They exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise. 13 People from Greece, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you. They exchanged slaves and bronze items for your goods. 14 People from Beth Togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise. 15 People from Dedan traded goods with you.

They exchanged emeralds, purple cloth, richly woven cloth, linen, coral, and rubies for your merchandise. 17 Judah and Israel traded with you. They exchanged wheat from Minnith, baked goods, honey, olive oil, and balsam for your goods. 18 People from Damascus traded with you because you had so many products. They exchanged wine from Helbon and wool from Sahar. 19 “‘Danites and Greeks from Uzal traded for your merchandise. They exchanged wrought iron, cassia, and sugar cane for your goods. 20 Dedan traded saddle blankets with you. 21 Arabia and all the officials of Kedar traded with you. They traded lambs, rams, and male goats. 22 The merchants from Sheba and Raamah traded with you. They traded the finest spices, precious stones, and gold for your merchandise. 23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants from Sheba, Assyria, and Kilmad traded with you. 24 In your marketplace they traded for beautiful clothes, purple robes, embroidered cloth, and many multicolored rugs with woven and twisted cords. 25 “‘Ships from Tarshish carried your goods. You were like a ship filled with heavy cargo in the sea.26 Your rowers took you out to the high seas, and an east wind wrecked you in the sea. 27 Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, your mariners and your sailors, your caulkers and your merchants, your soldiers and everyone else on board sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked. 28 “‘When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled. 29 All the rowers, the sailors, and all the mariners came down from their ships and stood on the shore. 30 They cried loudly and bitterly over you. They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes. 31 They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth. They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning. 32 They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: “Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?” 33 Your merchandise was sent overseas. You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. You made the kings of the earth rich. 34 Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. Your goods and your whole crew sank with you. 35 All those who live on the coasts are horrified because of you. Their kings are terribly afraid. Their faces show their fear. 36 The merchants among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.’” Ezekiel 27:27-34 27 Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, your mariners and your sailors, your caulkers and your merchants, your soldiers and everyone else on board sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked. 28 “‘When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled. 29 All the rowers, the sailors, and all the mariners came down from their ships and stood on the shore. 30 They cried loudly and bitterly over you. They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes. 31 They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth.

Your goods and your whole crew sank with you. Isaiah 23 23 This is the divine revelation about Tyre. Cry loudly, you ships of Tarshish! Your port at Tyre is destroyed. Word has come to the ships from Cyprus. 2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants from Sidon. Your messengers have crossed the sea. 3 The grain of Shihor is on the Mediterranean. The harvest of the Nile River is brought to Tyre. Tyre became the marketplace for the nations. 4 Be ashamed, Sidon, because the stronghold by the sea has spoken, “I’ve never been in labor or given birth. I’ve raised no sons. I’ve brought up no daughters.” 5 When the news reaches Egypt, the Egyptians will shudder over the news about Tyre. 6 Travel to Tarshish! Cry loudly, you inhabitants of the seacoast! 7 Is this your bustling city founded in the distant past? Is this the city that sent its people to settle in distant lands? 8 Who planned such a thing against Tyre, the city that produced kings? Its merchants are princes. Its traders are among the honored people of the world. 9 Yahweh Tsebaoth planned this in order to dishonor all arrogant people and to humiliate all the honored people of the world. 10 Travel through your country like the Nile, people of Tarshish. You no longer have a harbor. 11 Yahweh has stretched his hand over the sea to shake kingdoms. He has commanded that Canaan’s fortifications be destroyed. 12 He says, “You will no longer be joyful, my dear abused people Sidon.” Get up, and travel to Cyprus. Even there you will find no rest. 13 Look at the land of the Babylonians. These people will be gone. Assyria gave this land to the desert animals. Assyria set up battle towers, stripped palaces bare, and turned these places into ruins. 14 Cry loudly, you ships of Tarshish, because your fortress will be destroyed. 15 When that day comes, Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, the lifetime of one king. At the end of the 70 years, Tyre will be like the prostitute in this song: 16 “Take your lyre. Go around in the city, you forgotten prostitute. Make sweet music. Sing many songs so that you’ll be remembered.” 17 At the end of 70 years Yahweh will come to help Tyre. Then she will go back to earning money as a prostitute. She will become a prostitute for all the world’s kingdoms. 18 Her profits and her earnings will be turned over to Yahweh for his holy purpose. It won’t be stored or hoarded. Her merchandise will belong to those who live in the presence of Yahweh so that they will have plenty of food and expensive clothing. |

Edom will lie in ruins for generations. No one will ever travel through it. |
| Revelation 18:19 19 Then they threw dust on their heads and shouted while crying and mourning, ‘How horrible, how horrible for that important city.

The young women of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground. Job 2:12 12 When they saw him from a distance, they didn’t even recognize him.

Zephaniah 3:14-20 Israel’s Joyful Song 14 Sing happily, people of Zion! Shout loudly, Israel! Celebrate and rejoice with all your heart, people of Jerusalem. 15 Yahweh has reversed the judgments against you. He has forced out your enemies. The Melek of Israel, Yahweh, is with you. You will never fear disaster again. 16 On that day Jerusalem will be told, “Do not be afraid, Zion! Do not lose courage!” 17 Yahweh your Elohim is with you. He is a hero who saves you. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy. Israel Will Return Home 18 “I will gather those among you who are troubled because of the festivals. They bear a burden of disgrace. 19 At that time I will deal with all who have overpowered you. I will rescue those who are lame. I will gather those who have been scattered.

I will make you famous and praised among all the people of the earth when I restore your fortunes right before your eyes,” says Yahweh. Luke 11:49 49 That’s why the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles. They will murder some of those prophets and apostles and persecute others.’ Revelation 12:12 12 Be glad for this reason, heavens and those who live in them. How horrible it is for the earth and the sea because the Devil has come down to them with fierce anger, knowing that he has little time left.” |
| Revelation 18:21 21 Then a powerful angel picked up a stone that was like a large millstone. He threw it into the sea and said, “The important city Babylon will be thrown down with the same force. It will never be found again. | Jeremiah 51:63-64 63 When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River. 64 Say, ‘Babylon will sink like this scroll. It will never rise again because of the disasters that I will bring on it.’” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 3 When people say, “Everything is safe and sound!” destruction will suddenly strike them. It will be as sudden as labor pains come to a pregnant woman. They won’t be able to escape. |
| Revelation 18:22 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters will never be heard in it again. A skilled craftsman—regardless of the type of craft— will never be found in it again.
