1 This is a messagefrom the Lord:His eyes are on everyone,especially the tribesof Israel.So he pronounces judgmentagainst the citiesof Hadrach and Damascus.
2 Judgment will also fallon the nearby cityof Hamath,as well as on Tyre and Sidon,whose people are clever.
3 Tyre has built a fortressand piled up silver and gold,as though they were dustor mud from the streets.
4 Now the Lord will punish Tyrewith poverty;he will sink its shipsand send it up in flames.
