Thematic Bible
Tyre » Prophecies respecting » Its second destruction by the macedonians
By the multitude of your iniquities, through the sinfulness of your trade, you desecrated your sanctuaries. So I drew fire out from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes of all who saw you.
As they wail they will lament over you, chanting: "Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?"
I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor. They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently in the heart of the seas.
