Ezekiel 26:1-21
In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem,‘ Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,’therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers, and I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for the spreading of nets, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. And she shall become plunder for the nations,and her daughters on the mainland shall be killed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.“ For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers.He will kill with the sword your daughters on the mainland. He will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise a roof of shields against you.He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached.With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters.And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.I will make you a bare rock. You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, for I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God.“ Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst?Then all the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground and tremble every moment and be appalled at you.And they will raise a lamentation over you and say to you,“‘ How you have perished, you who were inhabited from the seas, O city renowned, who was mighty on the sea; she and her inhabitants imposed their terror on all her inhabitants!Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall, and the coastlands that are on the sea are dismayed at your passing.’“ For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you,then I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living.I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord God.”

Isaiah 23:1-18
The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor! From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.Be still, O inhabitants of the coast; the merchants of Sidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.And on many waters your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying:“ I have neither labored nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up young women.”When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coast!Is this your exultant city whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle far away?Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pompous pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth.Cross over your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint anymore.He has stretched out his hand over the sea; he has shaken the kingdoms; the Lord has given command concerning Canaan to destroy its strongholds.And he said:“ You will no more exult, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; arise, cross over to Cyprus, even there you will have no rest.”Behold the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people that was not; Assyria destined it for wild beasts. They erected their siege towers, they stripped her palaces bare, they made her a ruin.Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:“ Take a harp; go about the city, O forgotten prostitute! Make sweet melody; sing many songs, that you may be remembered.”At the end of seventy years, the Lord will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.Her merchandise and her wages will be holy to the Lord. It will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the Lord.
