They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.

They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.

They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.

And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.

Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.

They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.

They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.

I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.

Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
