Ezekiel 27:34-36

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁴Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your crew have gone down with you.

³⁵All the inhabitants of the isles and coastlands are astonished and appalled at you, and their kings are horribly frightened and shudder greatly; their faces quiver.

³⁶The merchants among the people hiss over you [with malicious joy]; you have become a horror and a source of terrors. You shall be ^[a]no more [forever].

Footnotes

Ezekiel 27:36 Down to the thirteenth century a.d. the grandeur of the ancient city of Tyre was still visible. But God’s Word does not fail. Soon Tyre had become an almost uninhabited pile of ruins. A large part of the western section of “the island” became covered by the sea, and early travelers told of seeing “houses, towers, and streets far down in the deep.” In modern times the population of Tyre, made up largely of fishermen who spread their nets on its beaches, has increased to around 6,000, but the city as such has never been revived, and the original site has long since become obliterated.
