8 its merchants were kingshonoured all over the world.Who planned to destroy Tyre?
9 The Lord All-Powerful planned itto bring shame and disgraceto those who are honouredby everyone on earth.
10 People of Tyre,your harbour is destroyed!You will have to become farmersjust like the Egyptians.
11 The Lord's hand has reachedacross the sea,upsetting the nations.He has given a commandto destroy fortressesin the land of Canaan.
12 The Lord has saidto the people of Sidon,“Your celebrating is over—you are crushed.Even if you escape to Cyprus,you won't find peace.”
13 Look what the Assyrians have done to Babylonia! They have attacked, destroying every palace in the land. Now wild animals live among the ruins.
