1. An oracle: the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach,and Damascus is its destination,For the cities of Aram are the Lord’s,as are all the tribes of Israel.
2. Hamath also on its border,Tyre too, and Sidon, no matter how clever they be.
3. Tyre built itself a stronghold,and heaped up silver like dust,and gold like the mud of the streets.
