1 This is the Lord's message:He has decreed punishment for the land of Hadrach and for the city of Damascus. Not only the tribes of Israel, but also the capital of Syria belong to the Lord.
2 Hamath, which borders on Hadrach, also belongs to him, and so do the cities of Tyre and Sidon, with all their skill.
3 Tyre has built fortifications for herself and has piled up so much silver and gold that it is as common as dirt!
4 But the Lord will take away everything she has. He will throw her wealth into the sea, and the city will be burnt to the ground.
