The sovereign Lord has spoken! 9 This is what the Lord says: "Because Tyre has committed three crimes -- make that four! -- I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They sold a whole community to Edom; they failed to observe a treaty of brotherhood. 10 So I will set fire to Tyre's city wall; fire will consume her fortresses."
