Bible Verses About Tyre: All nations to be terrified at its destruction

This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?

All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.

Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!

Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’

All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.

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

They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.

As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?

When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.

Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.

All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.

Those who trade among the nations hiss at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

Ashkelon will see and fear;Gaza will writhe in agony,as will Ekron,for her hope will wither.There will cease to be a king in Gaza,and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
