Judgment on Tyre and the Coastal Nations

9
Chapter 9
2 Hamath also borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, for they have very much wisdom. 3 Tyre built a siege for herself and piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud of the streets. 4 Look, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike the sea in its strength, and she will be devoured in the fire. 5 Ashkelon will see and fear, and Gaza will writhe greatly, and Ekron, for her expectation has been shamed and a king has perished from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited. 6 A mongrel will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the hubris of the Philistines. 7 And I will remove his bloods from his mouth and his detestables from between his teeth, and he will remain also—he for our God, and he will be like a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron like Jebusites. 8 And I will encamp around my house against the army, to prevent crossing over and returning, and no oppressor will pass over them anymore, for now I have seen with my eyes.
