1. The burden of the word of the LordAgainst the land of Hadrach,And Damascus its resting place(For the eyes of menAnd all the tribes of IsraelAre on the Lord);
2. Also against Hamath, which borders on it,And against Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
3. For Tyre built herself a tower,Heaped up silver like the dust,And gold like the mire of the streets.
4. Behold, the Lord will cast her out;He will destroy her power in the sea,And she will be devoured by fire.
5. Ashkelon shall see it and fear;Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.The king shall perish from Gaza,And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
