“ The time has come for the Philistines to be destroyed, along with their allies from Tyre and Sidon. Yes, the Lord is destroying the remnant of the Philistines, those colonists from the island of Crete.

“ Are you Israelites more important to me than the Ethiopians?” asks the Lord.“ I brought Israel out of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Crete and led the Arameans out of Kir.

They will say,‘ If this can happen to Egypt, what chance do we have? We were counting on Egypt to protect us from the king of Assyria.’”

A similar thing happened when the Caphtorites from Crete invaded and destroyed the Avvites, who had lived in villages in the area of Gaza.)

But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming.

For this is the day of the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, a day of vengeance on his enemies. The sword will devour until it is satisfied, yes, until it is drunk with your blood! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will receive a sacrifice today in the north country beside the Euphrates River.

The time of Israel’s punishment has come; the day of payment is here. Soon Israel will know this all too well. Because of your great sin and hostility, you say,“ The prophets are crazy and the inspired men are fools!”

Your prophets have given false visions, and your fortune tellers have told lies. The sword will fall on the necks of the wicked for whom the day of final reckoning has come.

Yes, the time has come; the day is here! Buyers should not rejoice over bargains, nor sellers grieve over losses, for all of them will fall under my terrible anger.

“ O you corrupt and wicked prince of Israel, your final day of reckoning is here!

“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning. The time has come; the day of trouble is near. Shouts of anguish will be heard on the mountains, not shouts of joy.

I will slaughter the people of Ashdod and destroy the king of Ashkelon. Then I will turn to attack Ekron, and the few Philistines still left will be killed,” says the Sovereign Lord.This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Tyre have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They broke their treaty of brotherhood with Israel, selling whole villages as slaves to Edom.So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre, and all its fortresses will be destroyed.”

For those will be days of God’s vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled.

What will you do when I punish you, when I send disaster upon you from a distant land? To whom will you turn for help? Where will your treasures be safe?

“ What do you have against me, Tyre and Sidon and you cities of Philistia? Are you trying to take revenge on me? If you are, then watch out! I will strike swiftly and pay you back for everything you have done.You have taken my silver and gold and all my precious treasures, and have carried them off to your pagan temples.You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, so they could take them far from their homeland.“ But I will bring them back from all the places to which you sold them, and I will pay you back for everything you have done.I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the people of Arabia, a nation far away. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

On February 3, during the twelfth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:“ Son of man, Tyre has rejoiced over the fall of Jerusalem, saying,‘ Ha! She who was the gateway to the rich trade routes to the east has been broken, and I am the heir! Because she has been made desolate, I will become wealthy!’“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am your enemy, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the waves of the sea crashing against your shoreline.They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down its towers. I will scrape away its soil and make it a bare rock!It will be just a rock in the sea, a place for fishermen to spread their nets, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign Lord. Tyre will become the prey of many nations,and its mainland villages will be destroyed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I will bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon against Tyre. He is king of kings and brings his horses, chariots, charioteers, and great army.First he will destroy your mainland villages. Then he will attack you by building a siege wall, constructing a ramp, and raising a roof of shields against you.He will pound your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers with sledgehammers.The hooves of his horses will choke the city with dust, and the noise of the charioteers and chariot wheels will shake your walls as they storm through your broken gates.His horsemen will trample through every street in the city. They will butcher your people, and your strong pillars will topple.“ They will plunder all your riches and merchandise and break down your walls. They will destroy your lovely homes and dump your stones and timbers and even your dust into the sea.I will stop the music of your songs. No more will the sound of harps be heard among your people.I will make your island a bare rock, a place for fishermen to spread their nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the Lord, have spoken. Yes, the Sovereign Lord has spoken!“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: The whole coastline will tremble at the sound of your fall, as the screams of the wounded echo in the continuing slaughter.All the seaport rulers will step down from their thrones and take off their royal robes and beautiful clothing. They will sit on the ground trembling with horror at your destruction.Then they will wail for you, singing this funeral song:“ O famous island city, once ruler of the sea, how you have been destroyed! Your people, with their naval power, once spread fear around the world.Now the coastlands tremble at your fall. The islands are dismayed as you disappear.“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will make Tyre an uninhabited ruin, like many others. I will bury you beneath the terrible waves of enemy attack. Great seas will swallow you.I will send you to the pit to join those who descended there long ago. Your city will lie in ruins, buried beneath the earth, like those in the pit who have entered the world of the dead. You will have no place of respect here in the land of the living.I will bring you to a terrible end, and you will exist no more. You will be looked for, but you will never again be found. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

Doom is certain for Hamath, near Damascus, and for the cities of Tyre and Sidon, though they are so clever.Tyre has built a strong fortress and has made silver and gold as plentiful as dust in the streets!But now the Lord will strip away Tyre’s possessions and hurl its fortifications into the sea, and it will be burned to the ground.The city of Ashkelon will see Tyre fall and will be filled with fear. Gaza will shake with terror, as will Ekron, for their hopes will be dashed. Gaza’s king will be killed, and Ashkelon will be deserted.

This message came to me concerning Tyre: Wail, you trading ships of Tarshish, for the harbor and houses of Tyre are gone! The rumors you heard in Cyprus are all true.Mourn in silence, you people of the coast and you merchants of Sidon. Your traders crossed the sea,sailing over deep waters. They brought you grain from Egypt and harvests from along the Nile. You were the marketplace of the world.But now you are put to shame, city of Sidon, for Tyre, the fortress of the sea, says,“ Now I am childless; I have no sons or daughters.”When Egypt hears the news about Tyre, there will be great sorrow.Send word now to Tarshish! Wail, you people who live in distant lands!Is this silent ruin all that is left of your once joyous city? What a long history was yours! Think of all the colonists you sent to distant places.Who has brought this disaster on Tyre, that great creator of kingdoms? Her traders were all princes, her merchants were nobles.The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has done it to destroy your pride and bring low all earth’s nobility.Come, people of Tarshish, sweep over the land like the flooding Nile, for Tyre is defenseless.The Lord held out his hand over the sea and shook the kingdoms of the earth. He has spoken out against Phoenicia, ordering that her fortresses be destroyed.He says,“ Never again will you rejoice, O daughter of Sidon, for you have been crushed. Even if you flee to Cyprus, you will find no rest.”Look at the land of Babylonia— the people of that land are gone! The Assyrians have handed Babylon over to the wild animals of the desert. They have built siege ramps against its walls, torn down its palaces, and turned it to a heap of rubble.Wail, you ships of Tarshish, for your harbor is destroyed!For seventy years, the length of a king’s life, Tyre will be forgotten. But then the city will come back to life as in the song about the prostitute:Take a harp and walk the streets, you forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody and sing your songs so you will be remembered again.Yes, after seventy years the Lord will revive Tyre. But she will be no different than she was before. She will again be a prostitute to all kingdoms around the world.But in the end her profits will be given to the Lord. Her wealth will not be hoarded but will provide good food and fine clothing for the Lord’s priests.

Mizraim was the ancestor of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,Pathrusites, Casluhites, and the Caphtorites, from whom the Philistines came.

Pathrusites, Casluhites, and the Caphtorites, from whom the Philistines came.

When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community— the heads of the clans of Israel— heard this from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, they were satisfied.

And God does not restrain his anger. Even the monsters of the sea are crushed beneath his feet.

along with all the foreigners living in that land. I also gave it to all the kings of the land of Uz and the kings of the Philistine cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what remains of Ashdod.Then I gave the cup to the nations of Edom, Moab, and Ammon,and the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings of the regions across the sea.

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will raise my fist of judgment against the land of the Philistines. I will wipe out the Kerethites and utterly destroy the people who live by the sea.

“ The Assyrians will be destroyed, but not by the swords of men. The sword of God will strike them, and they will panic and flee. The strong young Assyrians will be taken away as captives.

And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.
