Isaiah 23:1-7
Here is a prophecy against Tyre that the Lord gave me. Men in the ships of Tarshish, cry out! The city of Tyre is destroyed. Its houses and harbor are gone. That’s the message you have received from the island of Cyprus.People on the island of Tyre, be silent. Traders from the city of Sidon, be quiet. Those who sail on the Mediterranean Sea have made you rich.Grain from Egypt came across the mighty waters. The harvest of the Nile River brought wealth to Tyre. It became the market place of the nations.Sidon, be ashamed. Mighty Tyre out in the sea, be ashamed. The sea has spoken. It has said,“ It’s as if I had never felt labor pains or had children. It’s as if I had never brought up sons or daughters. It’s as if the city of Tyre had never existed.”The Egyptians will hear about what has happened to Tyre. They’ll be very sad and troubled.People of the island of Tyre, cry out! Go across the sea to Tarshish.Just look at Tyre. It’s no longer the old, old city that was known for its wild parties. It no longer sends its people out to make their homes in lands far away.

Ezekiel 27:26-36
The sailors who man your oars take you out to the high seas. But the east wind will break you in pieces far out at sea.You will be wrecked on that day. Your wealth, goods and products will sink deep into the sea. So will your sailors, officers, carpenters, traders and all your soldiers. Anyone else on board will sink too.The lands along the coast will shake when your sailors cry out.All those who man the oars will desert their ships. The sailors and all the officers will stand on the shore.They will raise their voices. They will cry bitterly over you. They will sprinkle dust on their heads. They will roll in ashes.They will shave their heads because of you. And they will put on the clothes of sadness. They will weep over you. Their spirits will be greatly troubled. They will be very sad.As they weep and mourn over you, they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say,‘ Who was ever like Tyre? It was destroyed in the sea.’Your goods went out on the seas. You supplied many nations with what they needed. You had so much wealth and so many products. You made the kings of the earth rich.Now the sea has torn you apart. You have sunk deep down into it. Your products and all your people have gone down with you.All those who live in the lands along the coast are shocked because of what has happened to you. Their kings tremble with fear. Their faces are twisted in horror.The traders among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a horrible end. And you will be gone forever.” ’ ”
