³² As they wail and mourn over you,
    they will take up a lament^(A) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
    surrounded by the sea?^(B)”

⁷ I am going to bring foreigners against you,
    the most ruthless of nations;^(A)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom^(B)
    and pierce your shining splendor.^(C)

⁸ They will bring you down to the pit,^(A)
    and you will die a violent death^(B)
    in the heart of the seas.^(C)

¹⁸ By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire^(A) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes^(B) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.^(C)

² and on Hamath^(A) too, which borders on it,
    and on Tyre^(B) and Sidon,^(C) though they are very skillful.
³ Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
    she has heaped up silver like dust,
    and gold like the dirt of the streets.^(D)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
    and destroy^(E) her power on the sea,
    and she will be consumed by fire.^(F)
